Published for the first time in a beautiful collectible edition, the
essential lecture delivered by the 2016 recipient of the Nobel Prize in
Literature, Bob Dylan.
On October 13, 2016, Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in
Literature, recognizing his countless contributions to music and letters
over the last fifty years. Some months later, he delivered an acceptance
lecture that is now memorialized in book form for generations to come.
In The Nobel Lecture, Dylan reflects on his life and experience with
literature, providing both a rare artistic statement and an intimate
look at a uniquely American icon. From finding inspiration in the music
of Buddy Holly and Leadbelly to the works of literature that helped
shape his own approach to writing--The Odyssey, Moby-Dick, and All
Quiet on the Western Front--this is Dylan like you've never seen him
before.
