“Bob Dylan, Nobel laureate. A new fact so shocking that even the year's most notable deaths have not outdone it for the volume (in both senses) of instant reaction; so divisive, it makes Brexit, the Labour leadership and the US Presidential election seem lesser ruptures.” YearsFactsSeemsElectionSensesReactionsPresidentialInstantLabourBobVolumeShockingDylanNotableNobelPresidential ElectionRuptureUs Presidential Author:David Bennun
“The Yeas are relatively uniform. They view [Bob] Dylan as one of the greatest artists of his or any era, who deserves to be taken as seriously as any litterateur. Where they vary is in some cases not even accepting the distinction: Dylan in their eyes is a literary titan, and the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature is simply official affirmation of what they already knew.” EyeArtistLiteratureViewsAcceptingCasesTakenDeserveErasOfficialsDistinctionPrizeAwardsBobUniformsAffirmationDylanVaryNobelNobel PrizeTitans Author:David Bennun

“First of all, there are those who simply don't care for [Bob] Dylan, or at least, don't think he's that great. Some of the former sound very much as if they are afflicted with the kind of contrarianism inevitably bred by cultural orthodoxy - Dylan is overwhelmingly rated a giant and a marvel, the acclamation of whom they feel to be de rigueur; and rather than judge for themselves, they embrace the opposite view.” IfsThinkingFeelsFirstsKindCareSoundViewsJudgingOppositesEmbraceDon't CareFormerGiantsBobDylanOrthodoxy Author:David Bennun
“Plenty more of the Nays sound perfectly sincere, though. They may genuinely dislike [Bob] Dylan; they may even enjoy or admire him, but just don't think he's all that. Fair enough.
