Numerous media sources report Minnesota native Bob Dylan will *not* be going to Stockholm to receive his Nobel Prize for Literature in person. The B-B-C quotes a statement from the Swedish Academy that they received a personal letter from Dylan saying he felt “very honoured” and wished he could receive the prize personally but is unable to attend the December 10th ceremony “due to pre-existing commitments.” As a condition of receiving the prize, Dylan must give a Nobel lecture by next June.
