Bob Dylan’s Silence on Nobel Prize Is Called ‘Impolite and Arrogant’ by Academy Member
Mr.
Dylan became the first musician to win the Nobel Prize in Literature
this month, setting off a debate about whether song lyrics had the same
artistic value as novels and poetry. But no one knows how Mr. Dylan
feels about the honor. He has made no public statements, and a brief
reference added to his website (“Winner of the Nobel Prize in
Literature”) was quickly removed after the news media caught wind of it.
Mr.
Dylan’s ambivalence to one of the world’s most prestigious honors, and
the uncertainty about whether he will accept it, appears to have begun
to wear on the Swedish Academy, which awards the prize. On Saturday, an
academy member called Mr. Dylan “impolite and arrogant.”
