The
Nobel Prize for Literature was awarded Thursday to singer songwriter
Bob Dylan, a seventy-five year old musician who has been writing songs
for decades. The Swedish Academy said Dylan 'created new poetic
expressions within the great American song tradition.' Dylan is the
first American to win the Nobel Prize for Literature since novelist Toni
Morrison. Dylan will be awarded a $900,000 prize. Dylan's most famous
songs include "Tangled up and Blue," "Like a Rolling Stone," and
"Blowin' in the Wind," just to name a few.
