do you agree or do not agree?
The singer 75 years ago had everyone on edge when he opted for the low profile after the October 14, it was revealed that he had received the Nobel for their “new formulas poetics within the traditional music american.”
Some thought that it would not accept the Nobel for Literature, that has happened on just two occasions. In 1958, the Russian Boris Pasternak rejected him in the midst of the pressures arising in their land after receiving it, while, in 1964, the French Jean Paul Sartre did the same thing faithful to its position not to accept awards.
Dylan took to communicate with the Academy and did not even mention the prize in the concert he gave in Las Vegas, Nevada, shortly after having received it.
Broke the silence in an interview with the british newspaper The Telegraph, in which he said that it seemed “incredible” news. “It’s hard to believe,” he said in his concise words on the subject.
The same day it was published that interview, the Academy said in a statement that Dylan had called to confess that the news about the Nobel prize he had “left speechless”.
At that time left the door open to their participation in the ceremony. But now we know that that will not happen.
