Although it has been a long time since the official announcement of the winners of the Nobel Prize, the truth is that their winners still have a tail and controversy in their respective areas. In the literary case, it may be Bob Dylan is the most controversial of all the winners.
Leaving aside the decisions of the Nobel Prize Committee, many authors, publishers and agents of the literary world have expressed their support for Bob Dylan and his criticism. Although the cousins are more rare than the last. Recently an established writer has come out in defense of this musician and his Nobel Prize.
Stephen King has defended the award given to the musician. Affirming that this musician has not only been creating interesting songs and lyrics but has inspired people, writers or not, of several generations and their works.
Bob Dylan is not only a great songwriter but also inspires other songwriters, according to Stephen King
To illustrate this, King, the genius of Terror, has spoken of his case. Since the age of 14 he has been listening to Bob Dylan songs and is a great tool for him when it comes to drawing inspiration from his work. In addition, this musician not only likes a generation but he himself attests to liking the music of Bob Dylan in his family. Up to three generations of King listen to and are inspired by the lyrics and music of Bob Dylan.
There are many writers who have criticized Dylan's choice more than support for the award, but it is true that also many of these criticisms are due to envy for not winning the aforementioned literary award and its financial endowment.
In any case, also it must be recognized that the award is striking, something that they do not take into account or at least I do not see in the defenses and attacks towards the prize. But What do you think? Do you think Bob Dylan deserves this award? Do you think Stephen King's defense is fair?
