People who didn´t deserve the Nobel prize of literature

Just like Malala the sand nigger, she was just a SJW and got shot in the head, and boom, Nobel prize of peace, now that´s bullshit

The Nobel Prizes in Literature/Peace are obviously very politicized at this point in time.

Bob Dylan's award just cleared up any doubt about it. The meme awards do not matter, carry on.

>>9621892
the vietnam war is a very important political question at this point in time

This but if Bob Dylan isn't /lit/ then who the fuck is?

Still salty for Dylan's award? Why do you even care about it? It's just a prize. Not even Dylan take it seriously.

>>9621909
The other nominees

>>9621937
Fortunately Dylan knows he doesn´t deserve it. Why do I care? Because it used to be an important award, and it´s value decreased tremendously, which is sad

>>9621912
Hey! No!

>>9621798
Dylan actually does deserve a Nobel, but not for literature - he would deserve a Nobel for music or songwriting if there was one. The reason being that, while some of his songs are genius-level literature, they don't work nearly as well if you removed the way they are sung, the music, etc.

>>9621909

I mean he said himself that he didnt deserve it and didnt want to take it.. the nobel lit prize is just political bs these days

>>9622069
Desolation Row and Shelter from the Storm are two good starting examples.

Bob Dylan perfected the American myth, in case there was any doubt about it. No living writer is more deserving.

Visions of Johanna, It's Alright Ma, A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall are all breathtakingly good.

>>9621798
If they were gonna give it to a songwriter, they should have given it to Leonard Cohen before he died.

>>9622010
4chan would probably be a better judge desu

>>9623397
Leonard Cohen is nowhere near as good as Bob Dylan.

Llosa and Coetzee, Llosa is a south american commie with rape fantasies about the huehuehueBR's and Coetzee is an apologist who cried because "muh apartheid was bad" despite the fact that he not only hasn't lived a significant part of his life in apartheid South Africa, he also went to university in the US and dodged the draft.

On the fence

Pic related is my contribution. The Good Earth's prose is boring and unimpressive, the story sort of soap operaesque, characters uninteresting, and she is obviously channeling prose from Outlaws of the marsh and red chamber, which runs sort of flat in english

It'd be easier to name the ones who DID deserve it.

Not much to explain. Two authors without big international reputations who were members of the academy that decides the winner shared prize in 1974. This unsurprisingly was criticized and one of them, who was already mopey about critics disliking his last work took a scissors to the stomach.

>>9622069
I'm not for Dylan getting the prize, but in my opinion the Ballad of Hollis Brown is as emotionally powerful as any Steinbeck novel.

That's just silly. Leonard Cohen is the only man who comes close to Dylan.

For some reason Dylan's songs have a strange, dark, mystical quality to them that I don't sense in Leonard's songs. They are both writing from entirely different dimensions. Leonard is more pure, and human to me. Dylan is otherworldly.

>>9626433
SOLAH is my favorite album and this just screams to me that you haven't tapped into Dylan's work.

>>9626871
Good post. No matter how often I listen to Dylan, I still can't help but feel I've barely touched his true identity.

Sweet Melinda, the peasants call her the goddess of gloom
She speaks good English and she invites you up into her room
And you're so kind and careful not to go to her too soon
And she takes your voice and leaves you howling at the moon

>>9626895
Because you haven't, nor have I, or anyone else for that matter. Which is why I'm more partial to Leonard Cohen, because I simply can't relate to that otherworldly quality.

If you are curious as to what I'm talking about just listen to Brownsville Girl, Idiot Wind (New York Session), and It's Alright Ma.

"Then Dylan says to me, ‘As far as I’m concerned, Leonard, you’re Number 1. I’m Number Zero.’ Meaning, as I understood it at the time—and I was not ready to dispute it—that his work was beyond measure and my work was pretty good."
