Keep. Satisfies criteria 5 of the guideline
WP:NBOOK. The author won a nobel prize for literature. You can't use an essay to reject a guideline, especially when the essay is garbage.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Per
Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Archive 71#"AFD is not for redirecting"?, there is a consensus that redirecting may be discussed at AfD. It seems worthwhile to have some further discussion of whether this book is independently notable, or whether it should be redirected to the article on its (very notable) author.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –

Keep. Authors do not win a Nobel for a particular book, but for their overall work. (It's not like the Pulitzer). Any full-scale book by a author of such great importance is in my opinion almost certainly notable, and the article should be sourced by those who can work in the appropriate language. I strongly favor redirecting and combining for minor authors. DGG (

Keep - As per DGG and User:James500. Being a stub of a notable topic is not a reason to delete an article. Stubs of notable topics are always better than no articles. --
