Did you know the eponymous Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and other, more powerful explosives? i did a project on him a couple of months ago, he invented dynamite as a safer explosive after his brother blew up in their dad's factory.

Didn't know that. Although apparently he was already devoted to the study of the subject before that accident and he just continued afterwards. Either way, pretty ironic as he considered himself a pacifist.

some people don't like the decision to incl. a musician in the literary canon, and some people also don't like bob dylan, making them biased in their dislike of him winning the prize.
i can see why giving the award to a an already super-acclaimed poet-musician while possibly overlooking someone who only works in written literature might be frustrating. however, if the prize goes to any singer-songwriter, then bob is definitely the one who deserves it most (maybe along with leo cohen).

mostly i was hoping a brazilian author (lygia fagundes telles) would win for once, so i'm bitter about it and open to negative opinions
