Nobel Panel Gives Up on Contacting Bob Dylan - chairman - 10-17-2016
The Swedish Academy is reportedly giving up trying to contact Bob Dylan to congratulate him and discuss its awaring him the Nobel prize in literature. According to the Guardian, the prize-giving academy’s top secretary told Sweden’s state radio that they’d received friendly replies from Dylan’s “closest collaborator,†but have not heard from the bard himself since the prize was announced last Thursday. The songwriting legend has performed twice since then, and has not made any public mention of the honor bestowed upon him. “I am not at all worried,†said the academy’s secretary Sara Danius on whether the singer will appear at the Nobel prizes’s annual December banquet. “I think he will show up.â€

I look forward to see if he shows up or not.
if he does not show up I would consider this the real worth of Dillon.
I don't think he deserves any prize..may a rotten nobel.. but no real writing prize. there are others greater than Dylan, far more deserving. I consider the 'Born in the USA' man as good or better than Dylan.
and there are better than them both.
the nobel as usual is playing games, looking to make use of Dylan for their own purpose..some nefarious and nasty effect against the people. if Dylan does not allow them to, it would be a mark of honor for him. he would finally be up in my estimation at least

If he refuses the Nobel prize , he would be the second person to do so
