So odd to put Pulitzer and Dylan together. Dylan has got no prizes whatsoever from any poetry org. hasn't he?

The Pulitzer Prize, pronounced /ˈpʊlɨtsɚ/ PULL-it-sər,[1] is an American award regarded as the highest national honor in print journalism, literary achievements and musical composition. It is administered by Columbia University in New York City.
Prizes are awarded yearly in twenty-one categories. In twenty of these, each winner receives a certificate and a US$10,000 cash reward[2]. The winner in the public service category of the journalism competition is awarded a gold medal, which always goes to a newspaper, although an individual may be named in the citation.
The prize was established by Joseph Pulitzer, a Hungarian-American journalist and newspaper publisher, who left money to Columbia University upon his death in 1911. A portion of his bequest was used to found the university's journalism school in 1912. The first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded on June 4, 1917, and they are now announced each April. Recipients are chosen by an independent board.
Several of the more famous recipients of the Pulitzer Prize include Ernest Hemingway, Eudora Welty, and Toni Morrison for Fiction; Robert Frost for Poetry; Roger Ebert for Criticism; and Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Stephen Sondheim for Drama.
Notable winners of more than one Pulitzer Prize include David McCullough (twice) for Biography; Eugene O'Neill (four times), Edward Albee (three times), and August Wilson (twice) for Drama; and William Faulkner (twice), John Updike (twice), and Booth Tarkington (twice) for Novel / Fiction. (This category's name was changed in 1948 from Novel to Fiction).
Both Eugene O'Neill and Booth Tarkington accomplished the feat of winning the prize two times in a four-year period. Thornton Wilder is notable for winning prizes in more than one category—one in the Novel category and two in the Drama category.

I heard he was in the Nobel list for many years without result,
for Literature.
Guess it's Allen Ginsberg's idea.

还是把Dylan奖颁发给Pulitzer吧:)) 他几乎半人半神了,还用得着奖状么?
但如果他真在候选名单中,估计排在北岛前面?
