bi_janus Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'm gobsmacked. Bob Dylan wins the Nobel Prize for literature. Quote Link to comment
Merkin Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Woo, hoo, yes indeed, gobsmacked. I love that the Committee recognized him as a poet. Quote Link to comment
Nigel Gordon Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 They've been talking about it for a few years, it is about time they got round to doing it. Of course it has upset some of the 'lit writers' and academics but they need to understand that literature is about far more that wordy books that most people can't understand. Quote Link to comment
ChrisR Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Unfortunately, they haven't been able to reach him to officially let him know! And he has a history of skipping out on awards. There is, of course, controversy over his achievement, but it seems that in some respects he spoke for a generation or two, and that should be enough to hush the critics. And inspire him to show up and accept. http://people.com/music/bob-dylan-ignoring-nobel-prize-committee/ Quote Link to comment
