""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.
