There was a lot of praise on this site for Dylan getting the Nobel. Personally, I did not understand why he got it for literature. He isn’t a writer, yes, he has a couple of books but nothing of literary quality and nothing produced this year. Generally, awards are given for same year or recent works. Very odd.
Yeah, bugs me too.
I mean, not only is it just “poetry” (arguable) that is supposed to be mated with music and not stand on its own, but for God’s sake, it’s 40 years too late at least.
Very untimely, even if you think it’s relevant.
