Book Reviews of Chronicles: Volume One
Book Review: A Chronicle of the Truth--Sort of
Summary: 5 Stars
The ever-elusive Bob Dylan has written a wonderful book that is a delight to read, but as always with someone who sees the world through an artistic prism, it is wise to consider "Chronicles" as a version of the truth. The anecdotes are very entertaining; the voice is warm and genuine and kind and honest. But Dylan is understandably careful about what he reveals and how he tells it.
For fans who are anxious to collect any tidbit, this book is a treasure chest full of insights, some of which are unexpected, such as his claim of simply desiring to raise a family. But for those looking for clues about interpreting the language he uses in the songs, there Dylan keeps the curtain closed.
For those expecting prose similar to Dylan's earlier book "Tarantula," this book is folksy, direct, and clear in language, though seasoned with wit and turns of phrase that sound like they wandered into the book from a Dylan talking blues song.
No serious fan of Dylan can--or should want to--resist this book. It's an immense pleasure to read.
--Lawrence J. Epstein, author of Political Folk Music in America from Its Origins to Bob Dylan
