/lit/ - Literature

Considering he wrote better verse than literal poets who won the Nobel Prize? Yeah, he did.

>>12294548
To be honest, who else should’ve won it?

>>12294567
John Lennon

>>12294570
Based Beatlesposter

>>12294548

>YOU SEE THIS ONE-EYED MIDGET
>SHOUTING THE WORD "NOW!"
>AND YOU SAY "FOR WHAT REASON?"
>AND HE SAYS "HOW!?"
>AND YOU SAY "WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?"
>AND HE SCREAMS BACK, "YOU'RE A COW!
>GIVE ME SOME MILK OR ELSE GO HOME!"

Yes, he totally deserved it, OP.

>boomers
>writing anything but worthless trash

>>12294566
What verses are you comparing exactly?

>>12294567
pinecone

>>12294567
Kendrick Lamar.

>>12294578
You’re a cow.

>>12294548
Unequivocally no.

>>12294548
No. The win is a pinprick of American cultural imperialism on the membrane of sacred tradition. Opening the prize to pomo readings of culture is a sign of grand disconnection. His works are genius and should have been recognized by some equally substantial prize for bardic or oral culture. But the judgement had almost nothing to do with the quality of his work. It was mostly about aesthetics and politics. His Nobel pronounced to the world that literature aimed at the masses has reached the peak and now will sit in stasis as the poets begin again to form themselves, to discipline themselves, to make themselves ready to speak directly to the globalists, the kings and queens, the rich and famous, the powerful few whose agency we covet. The days of American cultural imperialism have begun to wane, the leveler of true poetry spoken to kings and queens is upon us, and none shall sing under the guise of postmodernism songs of themselves. Only words of boundless patriotism can help destroy the remnants of all these pseudo-american cunts. Only the ears of the %1 matter to literature, only fools believe Dylan a poet and not a singer.

Dylan definitely deserved the Oscar just for Jimmy Hendricks’s guitar solo on “There Must Be Some Kinder Way Out of Here, Said The Joker to the King”

>>12294567
Leonard Cohen, Joanna Newsom

>>12294787
One’s dead, the other I haven’t a clue.

I doubt Pinecone becuase he seems far to reclusive to accept anything so high profile.

I think DeLillo or McCarthy would’ve been better options. Leaning more on the former, that seems more the Nobel committee’s speed.

>>12294548
Bob Dylan is the most pretentious artist to penetrate the boomer psyche. I swear all those Walt Witmanian tier soppy shit visualizations of the world has ruined everything both physical and spiritually sacred.

>>12294670
Good writing isn't largess. Ipso, you suck.

>>12294548

He barely deserves to breathe.

>>12294548
The Nobel Literature Prize is such a fucking joke of prize. A good number of the award winners are nobody swedes that aren't as widely read today.

>>12294758
Kindness is merely the ignorance of what violence you do in selecting some thing rather than another. Begin with violence and seek justice through tradition and duty. That is the only kindness left to us.

>>12294804
>has ruined everything both physical and spiritually sacred.
Oh, but it was only personal desu.

>>12294829
Imagine believing your opinion mattered to me, that you set the standard. Are you my Queen?

bob dylan is pop garbage

>>12295013
>surprised the swedish academy is biased towards swedish writers
It's almost as if Alfred Nobel was swedish. It remains the most prestigious literature prize, as other prizes are even more meme-tier.

>>12294548
The Nobel prize in literature did not deserve Bob Dylan

>>12294567
Sam hyde

>>12295367
If he's so good then why does he hyde?

>>12295533
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>/lit/ shits the bed in another Bob Dylan thread
Time is a flat circle

>>12294566
Not really. Paz, Yeats, and Neruda shit on his poems.

>>12294548
No, 6ix9ine did.

>>12294548
The Nobel prize in literature has never been awarded to the best work of the year. It’s a meaningless award that means absolutely nothing.

>>12297609
I’m fucking retarded. The post should’ve ended after “it’s a meaningless award”.

>>12297617
Repetition is the patrician literary technique

>>12297609
This. It also ultimately has no meaning.

>>12294567
Joni Mitchell

>>12294597
Actually are there any decent boomer novelists? Salinger is the last decent writer I can think of and he was silent generation, writing in the 50s or so. Boomers would have been of writing age in the 70s-80s, right? Can you guys think of anything worth reading from that era? Serious question.

>>12294567
Michel Houellebecq.

>>12294578
>Ballad of a Thin Man is just Dylan calling his critics faggots
Based. This man definitely deserved it.

>>12296098

>>12296098
Actually, time is a jet plane.

>>12297786
That was painful to read. I want to kill myself now, thanks dickhole, happy christmas to you too.

>>12297786
Literally me

>>12295004
this

>>12295053

I'd rather read a fucking contemporary Prix Gran Court winner than a Nobel winner any fucking day.

Post writers who deserved their Nobel

>I once was a Pirate what sailed the 'igh seas -
>But now I've retired as a com-mission-aire:
>And that's how you find me a-taking' my ease
>And keepin' the door in a Bloomsbury Square.

>I'm partial to partridges, likewise to grouse,
>And I favour that Devonshire cream in a bowl;
>But I'm allus content with a drink on the 'ouse
>And a bit o' cold fish when I done me patrol.

>I ain't got much polish, me manners is gruff,
>But I've got a good coat, and I keep meself smart;
>And everyone says, and I guess that's enough:
>`You can't but like Morgan, 'e's got a kind 'art.'

>I got knocked about on the Barbary Coast,
>And me voice it ain't no sich melliferous horgan;
>But yet I can state, and I'm not one to boast,
>That some of the gals is dead keen on old Morgan.

>So if you 'ave business with Faber - or Faber -
>I'll give you this tip, and it's worth a lot more:
>You'll save yourself time, and you'll spare yourself labour
>If jist you make friends with the Cat at the door.
