Bob Dylan (Robert Zimmerman), received the 2016 Nobel prize for Literature and is the first laureate chosen to receive the award for lyrics as written by a musician. This is only the second time that an American has received the Nobel prize for literature.
His award will be bestowed on December 10th, in Stockholm, Sweden. At this initial writing his notification on October 13, 2016 had yet to be acknowledged by him or others that have been notified. After a delay of over a week, he has acknowledged the honor and plans to attend the ceremony.
We have birth times for both Sartre and Dylan � so we can study their natal charts, and the chart of the day of the announcement each received the news that they were selected as Laureates of the Nobel Prize for Literature. We have the announcement day of record: |  | |
1964 Jean-Paul Sartre Turns Down Nobel Prize
|  | The French existentialist philosopher and writer published a letter in the newspaper Le Figaro to explain why he did not want to accept the Nobel Prize for Literature he had been awarded the day before on October 22. In his letter, he said he did not want to take sides in the East and West struggle of the Cold War, by accepting an award that was given out by Western institutions. |

Sartre was just beginning Venus Dasa with navamsa natal Venus in the 10th with lord of the 7th Moon in Malavya Yoga (Venus in its own sign in an angle from both the moon in Libra (by conjunction) and in the strongest 10th kendra (angle) from the Lagna (rising sign) of Capricorn)
