Eighteen years that many readers have been waiting for this moment.

The legendary American singer Bob Dylan, Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016, will publish a new book next November, his publisher, Simon and Schuster, announced on Tuesday.

The Philosophy of Modern Song

, which will be released on November 8 in the United States, will be his first work since

Chroniques, volume I

, published in 2004. It will be published in France by Fayard editions.

The folk star began writing in 2010 and his new work includes, says his publisher, more than 60 texts, including artists like Hank Williams and Nina Simone, and the art of composing lyrics and melodies.

“A global tribute to song”

"The publication of Bob Dylan's brilliant, kaleidoscopic work will be a global tribute to song by one of the greatest artists of our time," said Simon and Schuster publishing boss Jonathan Karp.

“'The Philosophy of Modern Song' could only have been written by Bob Dylan,” he continues.

“Her voice is unique, and her work carries her deep appreciation and understanding of the songs, the people who create them, and what it means to all of us.
