No, he didn’t close the book and not write any more…
Bob Dylan is releasing his new book The Philosophy of Modern Song, It’s his first book of new writing since 2004’s Chronicles: Volume One.
And that was instrumental in winning him the Nobel Prize for literature in 2016.
Dylan apparantly began working on The Philosophy of Modern Song in 2010.
The collection includes over 60 essays that Dylan wrote about artists like Stephen Foster, Elvis Costello, Hank Williams, and Nina Simone.
Dylan 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.

The book is described as investigating the human condition. It is also contains photos as well as a ]series-of-dream-like riffs that join to create an epic poem and add to the work’s transcendence.”
Simon & Schuster’s president Jonathan Karp said: “The publication of Bob Dylan’s kaleidoscopically brilliant work will be an international celebration of songs by one of the greatest artists of our time. The Philosophy of Modern Song could only have been written by Bob Dylan. His voice is unique, and his work conveys his deep appreciation and understanding of songs, the people who bring those songs to life, and what songs mean to all of us.”
