Bob Dylan, the Nobel prize in Literature

This year’s Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Bob Dylan, “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”.
Bob Dylan was born on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota. As a teenager he played in various bands and with time his interest in music deepened, with a particular passion for American folk music and blues.
Dylan moved to New York City in 1961, where he met the record producer John Hammond with whom he signed a contract for his debut album, Bob Dylan (1962).
In the following years he recorded a number of albums which have had a tremendous impact on popular music: Bringing It All Back Home and Highway (1961) Revisited in 1965, Blonde On Blonde (1966) and Blood On The Tracks (1975). His productivity continued in the following decades, resulting in masterpieces like Oh Mercy (1989), Time Out Of Mind (1997) and Modern Times (2006).
Besides his large production of albums, Dylan has published experimental work like Tarantula (1971) the collection Writings and Drawings (1973) and an autobiography, Chronicles (2004).
