In this post-Nobel talk, Tom Palaima will discuss Bob Dylan’s relationship with Britain, devoting attention to features of Dylan’s creative genius, the nature of his art, sources of his themes, and his ‘insights into the human condition’.

For 25 years he has taught seminars on war and violence with the purpose of ‘seeing who we are as human beings and why we do what we do’.
