Adam Gopnik - a lifelong fan of Bob Dylan - muses on Dylan's "utterly predictable lack of gratitude" towards his Nobel Prize.
"The terrible and intriguing truth", he writes, is that "people are tragically impressed by indifference...and pitifully contemptuous of the charming".
The Dylans of this world, Gopnik says "impress us as the true egotists we secretly are".
Producer: Adele Armstrong.
