Bob Dylan memoir coming in October
NEW YORK—The famously private Bob Dylan will shed light on his life and four-decade career as a singer-songwriter in a memoir to be published this autumn, his publisher said yesterday.
Dylan's Chronicles: Volume One (Simon & Schuster), the first of a planned three-book series, is a first-person narrative from the 63-year-old music icon, who rose to fame in the early 1960s and whose musical style ranged from folk and blues to rock, country and gospel.
The 304-page book is due out Oct. 12 and will be followed about a week later by an updated edition of Lyrics: 1962-2001, a compendium of lyrics to nearly every Dylan song. He previously published Tarantula, a 1971 book of poems.
