I've just read volume one of Bob Dylan's autobiography 'Chronicles' . Not the kind of book I'd normally pick up, having a lethargic interest in music. But I was startled and enthralled by the freshness and originality of his prose; not a wasted word. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016 for 'having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition', my eyebrows raised. Now I understand. I'm going to order Volume Two!
