The Lyrics: 1961-2012

Zusatztext This Nobel acknowledges what we've long sensed to be true: that Mr. Dylan is among the most authentic voices America has produced! a maker of images as audacious and resonant as anything in Walt Whitman or Emily Dickinson. Dwight Garner! The New York Times The Nobel Prize in Literature confirms his status as something more than a songwriter of a kind with those who preceded him. For those who follow him closely! savoring his witticisms! poignant observations and the unexpected word at precisely the right time! the acknowledgment is long overdue! with all respect to Messrs. Murakami! Roth! Sondheim and others. Sentence by sentence and verse by verse! Mr. Dylan's body of work is worthy of maximum celebration. Jim Fusilli! The Wall Street Journal The Nobel committee got this rightDylan's ongoing achievement in American song is a literary feat to celebrate in this gaudiest of ways. Rob Sheffield! Rolling Stone He was the rebel! the healer! the bard in blue jeans and oversized shades who sang a generation through war and peace! past the perils of unrest and self-complacency. . . . And now Dylan has entered that pantheon! shoving against the boundaries of the definition of 'literature' just as he pushed past so many borders in music. Carolyn Kellogg!
