Per Wästberg, author and member of the Swedish Academy, critisized Bob Dylan's refusal of acknowledging the Nobel Prize in Literature. – He seems to be a very grumpy and reluctant man, Wästberg said in an interview with SVT, the Swedish public service television.

Ever since the Swedish Academy announced Bob Dylan as this year’s winner of the Nobel Prize in literature 2016 over a week ago, there have been numerous attempts to contact the singer to formally notify him of the prestigious prize.

So far, however, the singer has made no personal comment - in spite of having performed in front of thousands of fans on the eve of the announcement of the prize in Las Vegas.

The Swedish Academy announced on Tuesday that they no longer will dedicate neither more time nor further efforts to searching for the notoriously elusive singer and songwriter.
