I felt like it was looking right at me and nobody else.So writes Bob Dylan inChronicles: Volume One,his remarkable book exploring critical junctures in his life and career. Through Dylans eyes and open mind, we see Greenwich Village, circa 1961, when he first arrives in Manhattan. Dylans New York is a magical city of possibilities -- smoky, nightlong parties; literary awakenings; transient loves and unbreakable friendships. Elegiac observations are punctuated by jabs of memories, penetrating and tough.
