The tragedy Long Day's Journey into Night is often included on lists of the finest American plays in the 20th century, alongside Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. He was awarded the 1936 Nobel Prize in Literature and the 1957 Tony Award for Best Play. O'Neill is also the only playwright to win four Pulitzer Prizes for Drama.
