Chronicles: Volume One

So writes music legend 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, penettrating 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.
