RE: Today in History: Bob Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature

in #history5 years ago

Nobel Prize has lost its relevancy in anything other natural sciences a long time ago. This year, for example, Nobel Prize of Literature created a lot of Twitter outrage over Peter Handke, Austrian writer who is known as an apologist for Slobodan Milošević, Serbian leader who happens to be widely regarded as the person most responsible for all the butchery during dissolution of Yugoslavia. And, of course, ten years ago there were controversies over Nobel Peace Prize given to Obama and controversy over Aung San Suu Kyi keeping one.

Sort:  

all good points. Like most people, i don't pay much attention to them and feel as thought there is a great amount of favoritism and politics that takes place much like any other awards ceremony.
