Long considered rock’n’roll’s poet laureate, Bob Dylan can now add literary laurels to his list of honors. The National Book Critics Circle (NBCC) has named Dylan’s “Chronicles: Volume I” one of five nominees for best biography/autobiography.
The nod places Dylan alongside such luminaries as past bio winners Sylvia Nasar (“A Beautiful Mind”), Frank McCourt (“Angela’s Ashes”) and Philip Roth (“Patrimony: A True Story”) and fellow 2005 bio nominees Ron Chernow (“Alexander Hamilton”); Stephen Greenblatt (“Will in the World”); John Guy (“Queen of Scots”); and Mark Stevens & Annalyn Swan (“De Kooning: An American Master”).
