In this book - which includes a foreword by singer Suzanne Vega and eight pages of rarely seen photos - the artist talks about Bird on the Wire, Hallelujah, and his other classic songs.
He candidly discusses his famous romances, his years in a Zen monastery, his ill-fated collaboration with producer Phil Spector, his long battle with depression, and much more.
You will find interviews that first appeared in the New York Times and Rolling Stone, but also conversations that have not previously been printed in English.
Some of the material here has not been available until now in any format, including the many illuminating reminiscences that contributors supplied specifically for this definitive anthology.
