The prize for literature and peace are two separate categories. Kim Dae-jung won the Peace prize in 2000 Gao Xingjian won the prize for literature.

Peace, Literature, Chemistry, Physics, and Medicine. There is a prize for economics but it is just called the Economics Prize instead of having the name Noble in front of it's title, like the Noble Literature Prize, Noble Peace Prize, etc. Perhaps because economics is not a true category, and perhaps because it is not as prestigious as the rest. Hope that helps, and if you ever attempt to win a Noble Prize, I wish you the best of luck.
The Nobel Prize in Literature 2013 was awarded to one Alice Munro.
