About This Book
Bob Dylan's memoir, focusing on three pivotal periods in his life: his arrival in New York in the early 1960s, a period of retreat in the early 1970s, and the recording of Oh Mercy in the late 1980s. Written with astonishing literary quality, Chronicles was the first indication that Dylan might one day win the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Bob Dylan, born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941, in Duluth, Minnesota, is an American singer-songwriter widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century popular music and literature.
