A grandiose cash prize awaits those who win the prestigious Nobel Prize, but to collect the money, the winner must give a lecture within six months after the prize ceremony. The winner of the 2016 Nobel prize was the notoriously reticent American musician Bob Dylan, who stayed silent for two weeks about winning the award. Now, just days before his deadline, Dylan has delivered a 27-minute lecture set to some discordant piano about the three works that have inspired him the most: Moby Dick, All Quiet on the Western Front (Im Westen Nichts Neues) and The Odyssey.
Bob Dylan finally gave his Nobel Prize lecture. Listen to it here
