Bob Dylan Signs New Book Deal

It’s not official, but Bob Dylan reportedly has signed a six-book deal, according to Crain’s New York Business.

The singer is expected to release the books through Simon & Schuster. The deal is rumored to include the next two volumes of Dylan’s New York Times bestselling Chronicles series and a collection of material from his Sirius/XM radio show, Theme Time Radio Hour.

Dylan’s literary agent, Andrew Wylie, put the as-yet-unconfirmed deal together with Simon & Schuster, the same publishing house that took care of Chronicles: Volume One.

The autobiographical Chronicles: Volume One was released in 2004 and nominated for a National Book Critics Award. The title spent 19 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.

The 69-year-old singer-songwriter hosted his weekly show on Sirius/XM from 2006 to 2009; he played a variety of music from his personal collection, told jokes and even recited poetry.

There’s no word yet about what the other three books in the Simon & Schuster package will be about. We also have no clue when any of the books will hit stores. But no doubt wherever Dylan is right now – he’s writing.
