Hvem var Andrew Cunanan og hva hadde han å gjøre med Gianni Versace? Andrew Cunanan ble født i en beskjeden kristen familie hvor begge foreldrene arbeidet hardt for å skape et bedre liv for barna sine. Derimot etter som Cunanan ble eldre, ble han en ivrig løgner som fabrikerte historier om privatlivet sitt. Han søkte oppmerksomhet, han ville bli rik og han begynte å selge sex til eldre, rike homofile. Han var arbeidsløs og helt avhengig av pengene til sine rike «elskere». Men da ble en av de rikeste elskerne lei av Cunanans selskap. Noen måneder senere drepte Cunanan en av sine nærmeste venner. Han løp fra politiet og hans spill var satt i gang. Han ville drepe enda flere og han ville gjemme seg enda bedre. Da han til slutt drepte motedesigneren Gianni Versace. Hva var Cunanans motiver og hvordan endte han opp?

The Philosophy of Modern Song is Bob Dylan’s first book of new writing since 2004’s Chronicles: Volume One — and since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016.   Dylan, who began working on the book in 2010, offers his extraordinary insight into the nature of popular music. He writes over 60 essays focusing on songs by other artists, spanning from Stephen Foster to Elvis Costello, and in between ranging from Hank Williams to Nina Simone. He analyses what he calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single syllable can diminish a song and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy metal. These essays are written in Dylan’s unique prose. They are mysterious and mercurial, poignant and profound, and often laugh-out-loud funny. And while they are ostensibly about music, they are really meditations and reflections on the human condition. Running throughout the book are nearly 150 carefully curated photos as well as a series of dream-like riffs that, taken together, resemble an epic poem and add to the work’s transcendence.   In 2020, with the release of his outstanding album Rough and Rowdy Ways, Dylan became the first artist to have an album hit the Billboard Top 40 in each decade since the 1960s. The Philosophy of Modern Song contains much of what he has learned about his craft in all those years and, like everything that Dylan does, it is a momentous artistic achievement.
