""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.
Written in 1966, 'Tarantula' is a collection of poems and prose
that evokes the turbulence of the times in which it was written,
and gives a unique insight into Dylan's creative evolution. 'The
good samaritan coming in with the words "round & round we go"
tattoed on his cheek / he tells the senator to stop insulting the
lawyer.' 'Tarantula' captures Bob Dylan's preoccupations at a
crucial juncture in his artistic development, showcasing the antic
imagination of a folk poet laureate who was able to combine the
humanity and compassion of his country roots with the playful
surrealism of modern art. Angry, funny and strange, the poems and
prose in this collection reflect the concerns we find in Dylan's
most seminal music: a sense of protest, a verbal playfulness and
spontaneity, and a belief in the artistic legitimacy of chronicling
everyday life and eccentricity on the street. 'Tarantula' never
made its publication date in Autumn 1966. To the delays added by
Dylan's constant revisions was added the greater complication of
his motorcyle accident - which left him with still undisclosed
injuries and kept the book from publication until 1971. In the
interim, it became a cult phenomenon, with 'bookleg' editions
photocopied from reviewer proofs circulating throughout the musical
and literary demi-mondes. Reissued to coincide with the paperback
release of 'Chronicles Volume 1', 'Tarantula' will finally find the
wider audience it deserves.
The Philosophy of Modern Song is Bob Dylan’s first book of new writing since 2004’s Chronicles: Volume One — and since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016.
Dylan, who began working on the book in 2010, offers his extraordinary insight into the nature of popular music. He writes over 60 essays focusing on songs by other artists, spanning from Stephen Foster to Elvis Costello, and in between ranging from Hank Williams to Nina Simone. He analyses what he calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single syllable can diminish a song and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy metal. These essays are written in Dylan’s unique prose. They are mysterious and mercurial, poignant and profound, and often laugh-out-loud funny. And while they are ostensibly about music, they are really meditations and reflections on the human condition. Running throughout the book are nearly 150 carefully curated photos as well as a series of dream-like riffs that, taken together, resemble an epic poem and add to the work’s transcendence.
In 2020, with the release of his outstanding album Rough and Rowdy Ways, Dylan became the first artist to have an album hit the Billboard Top 40 in each decade since the 1960s. The Philosophy of Modern Song contains much of what he has learned about his craft in all those years and, like everything that Dylan does, it is a momentous artistic achievement.

of a young boy who travels through his life, living in the
footsteps of the man who gave the world the greatest gift he had:
music.

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
