WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE The celebrated first memoir
from arguably the most influential singer-songwriter in the
country, Bob Dylan. 'I'd come from a long ways off and had started
a long ways down. But now destiny was about to manifest itself. I
felt like it was looking right at me and nobody else.' So writes
Bob Dylan in Chronicles: Volume One, his remarkable book exploring
critical junctures in his life and career. Through Dylan's eyes and
open mind, we see Greenwich Village, circa 1961, when he first
arrives in Manhattan. Dylan's New York is a magical city of
possibilities - smoky, nightlong parties; literary awakenings;
transient loves and unbreakable friendships. Elegiac observations
are punctuated by jabs of memories, penetrating and tough. With the
book's side trips to New Orleans, Woodstock, Minnesota, and points
west, Chronicles: Volume One is an intimate and intensely personal
recollection of extraordinary times. By turns revealing, poetical,
passionate, and witty, Chronicles: Volume One is a mesmerizing
window on Bob Dylan's thoughts and influences. Dylan's voice is
distinctively American: generous of spirit, engaged, fanciful, and
rhythmic. Utilizing his unparalleled gifts of storytelling and the
exquisite expressiveness that are the hallmarks of his music, Bob
Dylan turns Chronicles: Volume One into a poignant reflection on
life, and the people and places that helped shape the man and the
art. 'Chronicles stunned everyone . . . [it's] clear, apparently
frank, unremittingly serious about his musical influences and
exquisitely written. It is, in fact, a masterpiece' Sunday Times
'Entertaining and surprisingly deprecating... The book's structure
is elegant . . . Chronicles is tautly written, vividly cinematic,
and funny . . . a courageous little book' Financial Times 'There is
something on every page, in every paragraph, that demands attention
. . . In rock and roll terms, this book is like discovering the
lost diaries of Shakespeare. It may be the most extraordinarily
intimate autobiography by a 20th-century legend' Daily Telegraph
