Bob Dylan has not only inked a deal to publish the highly anticipated second and third volumes in his trilogy of memoirs, Chronicles, but the poet laureate of rock has even more books on the way, as well. Crain’s New York Business reports that Dylan’s literary agent sought an 8-figure deal with publishing house Simon & Schuster for the iconic singer-songwriter, which would include the Chronicles follow-ups, a book of dialogue from his “Theme Time Radio Hour” show on Sirius/XM, and 3 more to-be-revealed efforts.
As Rolling Stone points out, Dylan discussed Chronicles: Volume Two back in 2006: “I think I can go back to the Blonde on Blonde album — that’s probably about as far back as I can go on the next book,” he said, adding that he plans to reflect on the period of time in which he was simultaneously recording with the Traveling Wilburys supergroup for their second LP and laying down tracks for his 1990 Don Was-produced Under the Red Sky album.
