He’s also an international bestselling artist, a Pulitzer Prize–winning author, and an Oscar winner for “Things Have Changed.” His career is stronger and more influential than ever. How did this happen, given the road to oblivion he seemed to choose more than two decades ago?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Dylan’s 72, and this final act of his career is more interesting than ever—yet the classic biographies like \u003ci\u003eBob Dylan: Behind the Shades \u003c\/i\u003e(first published 1991, updated 2001) and even his own \u003ci\u003eChronicles: Volume One\u003c\/i\u003e (published 2005) came too soon to cover this act.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Now this groundbreaking biography digs deep into Bob Dylan lore—including subjects Dylan himself left out of \u003ci\u003eChronicles: Volume One\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eDylan: The Biography\u003c\/i\u003e moves beyond analysis of lyrics or well-worn biographical facts to focus on why this beloved artist’s American odyssey has touched so many souls—and how both Dylan and his audience have changed along the way.
