Krátky popis
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 a masterclass on the art and craft of
songwriting. He writes over 60 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 analyses 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. In 2020, with the release of his outstanding album
Rough and Rowdy Ways, Dylan became the first artist to have an
album hit the Billboard Top 40 in each decade since the 1960s. The
Philosophy of Modern Song contains much of what he has learned
about his craft in all those years and, like everything that Dylan
does, it is a momentous artistic achievement.
