Hi All...

The Philosophy of Modern Song is Bob Dylan?s first book of new writing since
2004?s Chronicles: Volume One?and since winning the Nobel Prize for Literature
in 2016.

"Dylan, who began working on the book in 2010, offers his extraordinary
insight into the nature of popular music. He writes over sixty essays focusing
on songs by other artists, spanning from Stephen Foster to Elvis Costello, and
in between ranging from Hank Williams to Nina Simone. He analyzes what he
calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single
syllable can diminish a song, and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy
metal. These essays are written in Dylan?s unique prose. They are mysterious
and mercurial, poignant and profound, and often laugh-out-loud funny. And
while they are ostensibly about music, they are really meditations and
reflections on the human condition. Running throughout the book are nearly 150
carefully curated photos as well as a series of dream-like riffs that, taken
together, resemble an epic poem and add to the work?s transcendence.
