Name the first Australian who won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Answer: B
Patrick White was the first Australian to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, in 1973. Banjo Paterson was a balladeer who wrote Waltzing Matilda, John Flanagan is a children's author, and Derek Walcott is a Caribbean poet from Saint Lucia who won in 1992. So only White fits. White received the prize in 1973 for an epic and psychological narrative art which has introduced a new continent into literature, and the novels Voss and The Tree of Man are among his best known. Banjo Paterson wrote The Man from Snowy River, and Derek Walcott, the 1992 winner, was from Saint Lucia.
