the nobel prize in literature is not the only literary prize for which all nationalities are eligible. other notable international literary prizes include the neustadt international prize for literature, the franz kafka prize, the man booker international prize, and in the 1960s the formentor prix international. in contrast to the other prizes mentioned, the neustadt international prize is awarded biennially. the journalist hephzibah anderson has noted that the man booker international prize "is fast becoming the more significant award, appearing an ever more competent alternative to the nobel". the man booker international prize "highlights one writer's overall contribution to fiction on the world stage" and "has literary excellence as its sole focus". established in 2005, it is not yet possible to analyze its importance on potential future nobel prize in literature laureates. only alice munro (2009) has been awarded with both. the neustadt international prize for literature is regarded as one of the most prestigious international literary prizes, often referred to as the american equivalent to the nobel prize. like the nobel or the man booker international prize, it is awarded not for any one work, but for an entire body of work. it is frequently seen as an indicator of who may be awarded the nobel prize in literature. gabriel garcía márquez (1972 neustadt, 1982 nobel), czesław miłosz (1978 neustadt, 1980 nobel), octavio paz (1982 neustadt, 1990 nobel), tomas tranströmer (1990 neustadt, 2011 nobel) were first awarded the neustadt international prize for literature before being awarded the nobel prize in literature.
