Dylan snubs the Nobel

We shared our delight recently about Bob Dylan winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, and so here’s a followup: He’s apparently snubbing the award.

The New York Times reports that Dylan has basically ignored his win, deleting mention of the Nobel from his website, and failing to return the Swedish prize committee’s calls. “And the Swedes, who are used to a lot more gratitude from their laureates, appear to be losing their patience: One member of the Academy has called Mr. Dylan’s behavior ‘impolite and arrogant,’” the paper wrote.
