Bob Dylan finally receives his Nobel Literature prize

Bob Dylan finally has his hands on his Nobel Literature diploma and medal.

Klas Ostergren, a member of the Swedish Academy, said the 75-year-old American singer-songwriter received his award during a small gathering Saturday afternoon at a hotel next to the conference center where Mr. Dylan was performing a concert later that night.

Mr. Ostergren said the ceremony was a small, intimate event in line with the singer’s wishes, with just academy members and a member of Mr. Dylan’s staff attending.

“It went very well indeed,” he said, describing Mr. Dylan as “a very nice, kind man.”

Other members of the academy told Swedish media that Mr. Dylan seemed pleased by the award.
