Booklover-Changing of the Guards

摘要

The announcement of the Nobel Laureates in all the various disciplines is one of my personal anticipations each autumn. When it was announced that Bob Dylan had been awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition," I realized that a trip to the library was not going to be on my agenda. Instead I would find myself delving into a collection of more than 600 song lyrics online, for Bob Dylan is the first musician to win the prize in the 115 years of Nobel history.
