Non-Fiction Memoir
"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." Bob Dylan's Chronicle: Volume One
explores the critical junctions 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
side trips to New Orleans, Woodstock, Minnesota and points
west, Chronicles: Volume One is an intimate and
intensely personal recollection of extraordinary
times. 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.
