Sinossi
Il primo volume della trilogia autobiografica di Bob Dylan, dedicato agli anni della formazione e a quelli degli incontri decisivi, ricco di episodi inediti. Non costretto da gabbie cronologiche, il libro spazia dall'epoca del Greenwich Village alla fine degli anni Sessanta, fino agli Ottanta. Il tono dominante è la gratitudine per chi ha reso possibile che Bob Dylan fosse Bob Dylan: verso il poeta Archibald MacLeish, che indirettamente lo guida alla realizzazione di "New Morning", o verso Daniel Lanois, musicista e produttore che direttamente lo aiuta a creare "Oh Mercy". Woodstock, San Francisco, New Orleans, città dell'anima con pochi tratti scuri, completano la geografia interiore di un'America invisibile ma mai davvero scomparsa.

STRANGE BEDFELLOWS, OR, HOW ALEXANDER THEROUX GOT BOB DYLAN HIS FIFTH STAR BACK When I read Chronicles for the first time I was knocked out and gave it five sparkling stars. (My original rave review is way down below.) Then something untoward happened and I came slouching back to Goodreads with an up Leggi tutto
After being on my “to read” shelf for a while, this book jumped up a couple spots when Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize for literature. He didn’t win the prize because of this autobiography or for his novel, but rather for the lyrics he wrote down and then placed over music. This autobiography is well Leggi tutto
Positively Fraud Street? I see you on the street I always act surprised I say, “How do you feel?” But I don’t mean it. "I can't taste your words," You said, "Your songs are just lies." So I cried that you were deaf, And you'd lost sight in your eyes. Then I said that you were wrong When you accused me of the Leggi tutto
UPDATE: A good and memorable read but probably not why he won the Nobel. What a wonderful weird book about the influence of cities and sounds, knowing what you want and going for it and getting it thanks to talent, luck, attitude, and meeting the right people. Funny how it emphasizes what no one real Leggi tutto
Mark my words, this book is going to be considered as an American classic piece of literature. Students in the year 2035 will study it, and young men wearing plastic rain coats will be holding this book as a fashionable prop in the most elegant nightclubs. As for me, this was such a surprise remarka Leggi tutto
I awake this morning to the news that Bob Dylan has won the Nobel Prize for Literature for 2016, which I absolutely am happy about. A bold move for the committee. It made me think that the committee is probably quite old to do this, but also well aware of his lyrics, which I assume is the reason he
This book is amazing. I have to clear this first: I have never been a Dylan Fan, I have never been able to go past his voice, which is crazy, folkie, and just too rough for me. Call me a softie. But this book is greatness. His memoirs, or, never better described, chronicles, are separated from diffe Leggi tutto
