London: Bob Dylan has finally accepted his Nobel Prize for literature, the Swedish Academy has said, breaking his silence on the win that he said left him "speechless".
Asked "if I accept the prize? Of course", the US singer-songwriter said in a call to the academy this week, around a fortnight after he was named laureate on October 13. "The news about the Nobel Prize left me speechless," he told the academy's permanent secretary, Sara Danius. "I appreciate the honour so much."
The academy said on Friday that it had not yet been decided yet if Dylan would visit Stockholm to pick up his award. He said: "Whoever dreams about something like that?" Asked why he did not respond to the academy's calls, Dylan said: "Well, I'm right here."
