Because Bob Dylan does the most Dylan of things in his memoir, Chronicles: Volume One. Who is Bob Dylan? What the book, and indeed Dylan’s career as a whole seems to do is create a mythic self. As Dylan puts it: “The writer doesn’t have to be accurate, could tell you anything and you’re going to believe it.”This is a great American adventure tale in the style of the beats. Rick O’Shea will feature ‘Chronicles: Volume One’ by Bob Dylan on ‘The Book Show’ on RTÉ Radio 1 tomorrow at 7pm
