Geoff, remember, Sinatra didn't write any of the songs he sang. Kinda hard to give him an award for literature, no?

Good catch. Sadly for Sinatra he doesn't meet the must be still alive standard of the august Nobel committee.

Mapman, thanks for that.  You've reminded of a little-known Dylan work, "Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie,"  which you can read here:

or you can hear Bob himself read it aloud (which is better) here:

Was the award given for his recent book, or for his music/lyrics? Everyone seems to think that it is for his music, but since it is a literary award, I would think it was for his book...

I'm pretty sure it's for his lyrics, not his music or his books.
