Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Jennifer Weiner wants to know why Jennifer Weiner wasn't chosen. I mean, what has Bob Dylan ever done with his life that was so great?

"Regardless of the work he’s producing, being a preternaturally successful white male author who lives in Brooklyn like every other preternaturally successful white male author has had a ripple effect through his career that has built to a wave of internet ire... His only crime is a blinking naivety, because Foer has no idea about any of this. And in that sense, he is exactly like what Twitter thinks he’s like."
