Does it only go to living people? I'd put Willeford high up on the short list.

Sadly, yes, only the living can win. Among the injustices: none for Jorge Luis Borges nor Italo Calvino...nor Avram Davidson (though this is a less-widely-held view) among many others.

Though it's a pretty distinguished list: http://almaz.com/nobel/literature/literature.html
