Dylan has always been difficult. This not responding is entirely in character. Fortunately being polite and socially adept is not a criterion for winning a Nobel prize in any catagory. If it was a whole lot of physicists would have missed out on a bonus.
I am pleased he won the award but then I'm not educated and modern poetry is generally incomprehensible to me. Finally a winner where I don't have to trust the opinions of experts as to the validity of the recipient. I. Sorry the committee are hurt regarding his response. Frankly I'm surprised that they didn't anticipate it. Be like expecting Einstein to show up with a nice haircut.
