Jennifer Egan on TRP and the Nobel Prize

[alice wellintown]

I'm so glad they didn't give it to Dylan. I love Dylan, but he aint no
poet; he's a song writer and he's got lots of awards for writing
songs.
I can't think of an author that got the nobel for literature but
shouldn't have. Sure, they missed some. Even Babe Ruth missed some.
