I don't understand this decision and think it is a serious downgrading for those authors who have already received the prize.

I would have hoped there'd be a distinction between people spending years to write a book and it being literature and someone writing a song. And before everyone get up to stone me, I know how songs are written, having been friends over years or decades with some of the biggest in music ever. Still, there is a difference IMO.
I agree. It'd be different if there wasn't any worthy literature literature nominated. But there was, so choosing a neo-literature nominee doesn't make much sense to me.

God bless Bob Dylan and all, but I sincerely don't get it.
