For when I ask about his Nobel, Dylan is all affability. Yes, he is planning to turn up to the awards ceremony in Stockholm. \u201cAbsolutely,\u201d he says. \u201cIf it\u2019s at all possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And as he talks, he starts to sound pretty pleased about becoming a Nobel laureate. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to believe,\u201d he muses.<\/p>\n<p>His name has been mentioned as on the shortlist for a number of years, but the announcement was certainly not expected. When he was first told, it was, Dylan confides, \u201camazing, incredible. Whoever dreams about something like that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In which case, I can\u2019t help but ask, why the long public silence about what it means? Jean-Paul Sartre famously declined the award in 1964, but Dylan has these past weeks seemed intent on simply refusing to acknowledge its existence, so much so that one of the normally tight-lipped Nobel committee labelled him \u201cimpolite and arrogant\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Dylan sounds genuinely bemused by the whole ruckus. It is as if he can\u2019t quite fathom where all the headlines have come from, that others have somehow been over-reacting.<\/p>\n<p>Couldn\u2019t he just have taken the calls from the Nobel Committee?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"articleBodyImage section\">\n<div class=\"article-body-image component \" data-frz-ancestor=\"\" data-frz-ratio=\"1.00\">\n<div class=\"component-content\">\n<figure>\n<div class=\"responsive-image article-body-image-image responsive-image--notset\" data-width=\"320\" data-height=\"320\" data-alt=\"Bob Dylan\" data-frz-ratio=\"1.00\" data-src=\"\/content\/dam\/men\/2016\/10\/28\/112159578-small_trans++qVzuuqpFlyLIwiB6NTmJwfSVWeZ_vEN7c6bHu2jJnT8.jpg\" data-lazy-loaded=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"responsive-image__source\" src=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/content\/dam\/men\/2016\/10\/28\/112159578-large_trans++qVzuuqpFlyLIwiB6NTmJwfSVWeZ_vEN7c6bHu2jJnT8.jpg\" alt=\"Bob Dylan\" \/><\/div><figcaption><span class=\"article-body-image-caption\">&#8216;You can carry a sketchbook anywhere,&#8217; says Dylan<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"articleBodyText section\">\n<div class=\"article-body-text component \">\n<div class=\"component-content\">\n<p>\u201cWell, I\u2019m right here,\u201d he says playfully, as if it was simply a matter of them dialling his number, but he offers no further explanation.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_first-letter\">I<\/span>t is over a quarter of a century since I first interviewed Bob Dylan. That was back in 1989, and he started off so reticent that he was monosyllabic.<\/p>\n<p>When I asked him a question about the 1960s, he snapped at me. What I did then was start over and ask all the same questions again. It worked. We ended up doing a two-and-a-half hour interview.<\/p>\n<p>If there is one thing I have learned about him over the years, and the several interviews he has granted me, it is that he always does the unexpected.<\/p>\n<p>Bob Dylan has never made a secret of the fact that he doesn\u2019t like the media. It is two years since he last spoke to a journalist. He does it his way.<\/p>\n<p>So, for all the speculation over the last two weeks about the reasons behind his blanket silence on the Nobel award, I can only say that he is a radical personality \u2013 which is why he has remained of so much interest to us over six decades since he first emerged on the Manhattan music scene in 1962 \u2013 and cannot be tied down, even by the Nobel Prize committee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"htmlEmbed section\">\n<div class=\"html-embed component version-1\">\n<div class=\"component-content\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"component-content\"><span class=\"m_first-letter\">I<\/span>n interviews over the years, the famously unpredictable Dylan has been by turns combative, amiable, taciturn, philosophical, charismatic, caustic and cryptic.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"articleBodyText section\">\n<div class=\"article-body-text component \">\n<div class=\"component-content\">\n<p>He has seemed intent, most of all, on being fiercely private and frustratingly unknowable.
