Dylan was announced as the winner of the coveted Nobel Prize in Literature on October 13, but aside from a factual tweet and brief mention on his official website, the news has been met with total silence by the troubadour. On Friday, the brief text on the musician’s official website that mentioned the win appeared to have disappeared. He is the person he is,” Per Wästberg, a Swedish Academy committee member, was quoted as telling Swedish broadcaster SVT. According to an unnamed source cited by Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet, Dylan himself ordered the Nobel-mention to be removed.
