Artist Bob Dylan is the winner of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature

The most prestigious award in the field of literature this year went to Bob Dylan. Once again, Haruki Murakami, the top "betting" list this year, went home empty-handed.

Bob Dylan was born in 1941 and is one of the best-selling artists.

The 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature is normally announced in the same week as the other Nobel Prizes in Science, but it was announced separately. Many have suggested there was a problem within the jury, but this has been denied. Instead, the Swedish Academy has said it was a logistical issue between awards.

Bob Dylan has been honored with the prize for his innovations in poetic expression within the great American musical tradition, the Swedish Academy announced.

This is also quite a surprising result because Bob Dylan is not among the people predicted to win the award.

Bob Dylan can play many musical instruments such as guitar, keyboards and harmonica.

Bob Dylan is considered one of the icons of American popular culture. The 75-year-old artist is best known as a singer and songwriter. However, he has also tried his hand at literature, poetry, and painting, all of which have been successful.

Bob Dylan is one of the most influential artists in American culture over the past five decades and is considered the best representative of his generation. He is the pioneer of American musical traditions in many genres, from rock, blues, country to rock and roll...

To date, he has sold over 100 million records, published 6 books on painting and has many paintings displayed in galleries... Bob Dylan owns many Grammy awards, Golden Globes and 1 Oscar. In 2012, he received the Medal of Freedom from US President Obama.
