Bob Dylan的自传有下文了
 |
《CHRONICLES》(中文版译名：像一块滚石)终于有下文了！之前出版商S&S只出了第一卷。时隔多年，他们跟代理人Andrew Wylie终于谈妥了一份共计六本书的合约，其中包括《CHRONICLES》后面两卷，另外还有一本也是Dylan的，他的电台节目什么的。说到底还是钱，Wylie之前要价八位数，最终大家敲定的金额——不知道!

Rock legend Bob Dylan has a new book deal—with his old publisher, Simon & Schuster.
The house, which brought out the singer-songwriter's 2004 best-seller Chronicles: Volume One, has reached a deal with literary agent Andrew Wylie for six books, according to several industry insiders. The books include two follow-ups to Chronicles and a collection of riffs from Mr. Dylan's radio show on Sirius XM.
The deal came after Mr. Wylie had spent months trying to drum up interest in the project among other publishers (see Crain's, Nov. 22), despite Simon & Schuster's insistence that it had the rights to any Chronicles sequels.
Wylie's contention was that S&S didn't own the "memoir,' because Chronicles was "nonfiction stories' from his life and not a memoir,” said an editor who met with the agent. But no house would bite because of the potential for a lawsuit.
Mr. Wylie had been looking for an eight-figure offer, according to another editor, who didn't know the deal's final value.
The agent did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment. A Simon & Schuster spokesman declined to comment.
