Bob Dylan Recites A ‘Novel’ Speech In His Nobel Prize In Literature Lecture

While Dylan did not attend the Nobel ceremony and banquet in Stockholm in December, he did pen an acceptance speech that was read by United States Ambassador to Sweden Azita Raji. In April, when Dylan’s European tour reached Sweden, he officially received his Nobel Prize medal and diploma.

By providing a lecture on the subject of literature, Dylan fulfilled all the requisites in order to receive the $900,000 award that accompanies the Nobel Prize.
