TIME OUT OF MIND: THE LIVES OF BOB DYLAN
Book ID/图书代码： 08430013B63038
English Summary/英文概要： By the middle of the 1970s, Bob Dylan’s position as the pre-eminent artist of his generation was assured. The 1975 album Blood on the Tracks seemed to prove, finally, that an uncertain age had found its poet.
Perverse or driven, Dylan refused the role. By the decade’s end, the counter-culture’s poster child had embraced conservative, evangelical Christianity. Fans and critics alike were confused; many were aghast. Still the hits kept coming.
Then Dylan faltered. His instincts, formerly unerring, deserted him. In the 1980s, what had once appeared unthinkable came to pass: the ’voice of a generation’ began to sound irrelevant, a tale told to grandchildren.
Yet in the autumn of 1997 something remarkable happened. Having failed to release a single new song in seven long years, Dylan put out the equivalent of two albums in a single package. He called it Time Out of Mind. So began the renaissance, artistic and personal, that culminated in 2012’s acclaimed Tempest.
In the concluding volume of his groundbreaking study, Ian Bell explores the unparalleled second act in a quintessentially American career. It is a tale of redemption, of an act of creative will against the odds, and of a writer who refused to fade away.
Time Out of Mind is the story of the latest, perhaps the last, of the many Bob Dylans. This one might yet turn out to have been the most important of them all.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 到了70年代中期，鲍勃•迪伦在这一代艺术家中超群绝伦的地位已是毋庸置疑。1975年的专辑“铁轨上的血”就是 证明，那个不确定的年代最终发现了它的诗人。迪伦拒绝堕落者或者先驱这样的角色。但是，在最后的十年里，这个模范人物接受了保守的福音派基督教。粉丝和评论家都感到困惑;许多人惊得目瞪口呆。轰动还在继续。
然后，迪伦开始衰落。他以前准确无误的直觉抛弃了他。在20世纪80年代，曾经出现的不可思议的思想已经过时：一代人的声音开始听起来无关紧要，它已经变成一个讲给孙子听的故事。
然而，在1997年秋天，不同寻常的事情发生了。已经七年未发片的迪伦发了新专辑，相当于把两张专辑合成了一张，他把它称作：被遗忘的时光。这张专辑开始了他个人和其艺术的复兴，在2012年广受好评。
伊恩•贝尔在他开创性研究的结论册里，探讨在一个典型的美国式的职业生涯中无与伦比的第二春。这是一个救赎的故事，一个极具创造力的艺术家拒绝衰退，一个作家拒绝消逝。
《被遗忘的时光》对于鲍勃•迪伦的粉丝来说是最新的故事，也有可能是最后的故事。这一本可能是众多关于迪伦的书中最重要的一本。(LNL)
