You’ve may have already seen this story but the (literally) odds-on favorite for this year’s Nobel Price for Literature is none other than Bob Dylan. I would be very surprised if this comes to pass, but far from disappointed.

Dylan has a remarkable way with words and has produced a singular body of work over the last fifty (!) years. He’s also far more worthy of the award than some other recent winners. And if he wins, he’ll surely deliver the most unique and memorable acceptance speech in Nobel history.

The award will be announced tomorrow, and here’s hoping that the kid from Hibbing, Minnesota, who dreamed of being the next Elvis Presley will pull it off.

Update The Nobel Prize for literature did not go to Bob Dylan but, instead, to Tomas Transtromer, for his “condensed translucent images” which give us “fresh access to reality.”
