It's not an issue of her being left wing, it's an issue of her being nominated for the Nobel Prize of Literature despite being horrible at writing(as in the actual technical skill of writing).
As for reactionaries/conservatives winning, it's basically impossible for someone to win this award as a genuine "reactionary". The last genuine reactionary who won it was Solzhenitsyn, and it would never be awarded to him if they were aware of all of his views.
