Bob Dylan to finally accept Nobel prize in Sweden

2013 by Canadian Nobel literature laureate Alice Munro.

Danius said that the academy “is very much looking forward to the weekend” and will attend a Dylan concert, but added that the setting of their meeting will be “small and intimate, and no media will be present,” in line with his wishes.

The 75-year-old Dylan, who was awarded the prize “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition,” declined an invitation last year to the traditional Nobel Prize banquet and ceremony on Dec. 10 — the date of Alfred Nobel's death — pleading other commitments. He is performing concerts in Stockholm both Saturday and Sunday.
