http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_SartreHowever, Lars Gyllensten, long time member of the Nobel prize committee has claimed in his autobiography that Sartre later tried to access the prize money, but was subsequently turned down. Allegedly, the French philosopher in 1975 wrote a letter to the Nobel Prize committee saying that he had changed his mind about the prize, at least when it came to the money. At which point the prize committee is said to have declined the request, stating that the funds had been reinvested in the Nobel institute.
Så Sartre fick inte alls som han ville; inte blev han struken ur rullorna, och inte fick han några pengar. Om nu det senare stämmer.
