Summary
 WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE

The celebrated first memoir from arguably the most influential singer-songwriter in the country, Bob Dylan.

“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.”

So writes 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, penetrating 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.

By turns 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.

L'ouvrage est magnifique, intense, puissant, profond. Mais quelle idée saugrenue d'avoir enregistré une version abrégée ! Ce n'est pas un livre pour enfants. Et tout est intéressant dans ce livre. Pourquoi toutes ces coupes ? Cela m'a complètement gâché le plaisir de l'écoute.
La voix est bien choisie pour ce livre, mais la lecture est assez approximative. Trop souvent des mots sont supprimés, ajoutés, remplacés ou permutés. C'est agaçant.
Le découpage en chapitres du livre audio ne suit pas le découpage du livre papier. C'est étrange et désagréable.

Quel massacre !
