Earlier this month, Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, and until now he has yet to acknowledge the honor. He recently sat down with The Telegraph for an interview to discuss his upcoming show at London’s Halcyon Gallery, and when asked if he’d show up for the award ceremony in Stockholm he said, “Absolutely” if “it’s at all possible.”

He admits that the honor is “hard to believe,” saying, “Whoever dreams about something like that?” Elsewhere in the interview he says that some of his songs are “Homeric in value,” and that the meaning of his lyrics will need to be decided by the “academics,” because “they ought to know” and he’s not “really qualified” to pass judgment. You can read the entire interview here.

Until this interview, it was reported he wasn’t returning the Nobel committee’s emails, and though the award was mentioned on his website, even that acknowledgement disappeared. Last week, one of the Swedish Academy’s members called Dylan’s actions “impolite and arrogant.”
