Alexandra Guzeva — Does Russia’s literary elite think Bob Dylan deserves the Nobel Prize?

Interesting comments showing Dylan's global range and impact, and the best of America.

Bob Dylan didn’t win it this year; the solidly American tradition of sung poetry – with a global range – was the one that won it. — Konstantin Milchin, literary critic

I hope that Dylan won’t be the last. Leonard Cohen, Neil Young and even in our country Boris Grebenshchikov, Andrei Makarevich, Yury Shevchuk and other wonderful poets are all still very much alive and well. — Artemy Troitsky, music critic

Not all positive, though. Traditionalists don't like it.

Yet again here we have further defilement, the defilement of world culture. — Alexander Prokhanov, writer
