Bob Dylan won't talk to the Nobel committee

Bob Dylan won't talk to the Nobel committee

US iconic singer-songwriter Bob Dylan was awarded a Nobel Prize for Literature, but he doesn't seem too interested in getting in touch with the Nobel committee.

Indeed, Committee Secretary Sara Danius reportedly told Sweden’s state radio that the group have given up on trying to get a hold of Dylan:

Right now we are doing nothing. I have called and sent emails to his closest collaborator and received very friendly replies. For now, that is certainly enough.

By the way, Danius says she thinks the artist Bob will show up to the awards ceremony on December 10, to receive his award directly from King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden:

I am not at all worried. I think he will show up. If he doesn’t want to come, he won’t come. It will be a big party in any case and the honor belongs to him.
