Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature


Awesome.   Best news I've read in a while.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not well-versed in either prose or poetry.  But I have noticed that Salman Rushdie and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, among others, are pretty pleased that Dylan was chosen.  But I'm sure Simao knows better...
What Dylan has done cannot be undone, at least not right away. He exposed the stupidity and dishonesty of the Committee.
Professor, I fully agree with you. 
Apparently they just liked Dylan best.   Just like we get to pick the audio products we like best based on their merits as we see them.  Others will see something different most likely.  It's an art not a science.  So I guess you'll never please everyone.  
This award will not please anyone who understands literature. Mapman, why is it so difficult for you to accept that? Dylan is not among the best at anything, and that's exactly why so many like him. He is a lot like those "so many".
So your saying those who choose the winner do not understand literature?
