Bob Dylan is one of America’s greatest songwriters. Now he has written a book about his life that critics have praised. Bob Dylan’s book, “Chronicles: Volume One,” was published in October. It has been among the best-selling books in America. The New York Times newspaper named it one of the five best non-fiction or true- life books in 2004. And recently, the National Book Critics Circle named it one of the five finalists for best biography or autobiography of last year.
Bob Dylan grew up in the small town of Hibbing, Minnesota. As a young man, in 1961, he moved to New York City with his guitar. He wanted to become a folk singer and musician. In his book, he writes about his experiences playing and singing other people’s songs in clubs in the Greenwich Village area. He writes about many artists, writers and musicians who influenced him.
The main influence on him was the great folk singer Woody Guthrie. Guthrie was living in a hospital in New Jersey because he had a serious disease. Dylan visited him often and played Guthrie’s songs to him. Later, Dylan became extremely famous for the songs he wrote. The media called him the “voice of a generation.”Bob Dylan writes that his wife and five children were the most important part of his life. He describes trying to find privacy for his family at his home in Woodstock, a town in New York State. But people from all over the country came to visit him and destroyed his peace.
