Bob Dylan, a folk singer whose poetic lyrics defined his generation, has become the first musician to win the nobel prize for literature. The prize, which was first awarded in 1901, was presented to Dylan “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition,” according to an announcement from the Swedish Academy, which decides the prize each year from an undisclosed list of candidates. Dylan’s distinctive voice and his musicianship brought him early success. Born in Duluth, Minnesota in 1941, he released his first album in 1962, drawing heavily on traditional folk songs. Soon, though, he began writing his own lyrics, producing distinctive works like Mr Tambourine Man, which Dylan wrote when he was just 22.

In 1965, he famously appalled folk fans by changing the sound they’d grown to love by playing electric guitar. One fan at a 1966 concert shouted a single word which went down in history: “Judas.” Europa%20FINAL_9_30_br.
