Other than that, no crucial insights, but that is enough. Ideas... most often they start with reading. Finished 06.07.2020. ( ) An interesting speech by Dylan, but a miss. He speaks about three books that influenced him: Moby-Dick, All's Quiet on the Western Front, and The Odyssey. Unfortunately he cribs from Sparknotes for his discussion of Moby-Dick (Google "Dylan," "Moby Dick," and "plagiarism" for articles on it). It makes you wonder if he really was influenced by these books. His discussion of All's Quiet on the Western Front is a bit better, though The Odyssey seems tacked on just to have three books. The best part of the book is his actual, heartfelt thoughts on seeing Buddy Holly play. If Dylan had discussed the actual poetry of rock 'n' roll, old country music, the blues, and folk music, he would have been on better ground. I think he wanted to sound smart for professor-types and literature-types, so he stretched to sound cool, and, like an undergraduate with a C and trying to stretch for an A, he resorted to plagiarism in order to score. He shouldn't have. But, though some of Dylan's lyrics are pure poetry, he really shouldn't have won a Nobel for Literature. Music, maybe, if they had one. A miss. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
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. 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.
