The one-man songbook
What took them so long? That's the only question for the Nobel committee that finally chose Bob Dylan to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature.It's not as if some new work suddenly clinched the deal. Dylan has been recognised by anyone who cares about words - not to mention music - since the 1960s, when he almost immediately earned an adjective as his own literary and musical school: Dylanesque. His most recent album of his songs was "Tempest," back in 2012; he has since been paying tribute to the so-called Great American Songbook of pre-rock pop, like "Shadows in the Night," his 2015 album of songs Frank Sinatra had sung. But there's no question that Dylan has created a great American songbook of his own: an e pluribus unum of high-flown and down-home, narrative and imagistic, erudite and earthy, romantic and cutting, devout and iconoclastic, finger-pointing and oracular, personal and universal, compassionate and pitiless. His example has taught writers of all sorts - not merely poets
