Publisher Comments :
He is "The Man in Black." Country music legend. The "quintessential American troubadour." An icon of rugged individualism, who's been to hell and back, and tells the tale as never before. In this unforgettable autobiography, Johnny Cash talks straight about the highs and lows, the struggles and hard-won triumphs, and the people who have shaped him.
In his own words, Cash sets the record straight--and dispels a few myths--as he looks unsparingly at his remarkable life: from his turbulent past to the joys of the present to his plans down the road. Here, too, are the friends of a lifetime, including Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, and Dr. Billy Graham. As powerful and memorable as one of his classic songs, Cash is filled with the candor, wit, and wisdom of a man who has truly "walked the line."
"Engaging.... Written with honesty and spiritual insight.... Cash's stories and strength shine."
From Chicago Sun-Times

From Kirkus Reviews
A humble, happy look back from the man in black. Johnny Cash answers to many names; he's JR to childhood friends and family, John to bandmates, and Johnny to fans. ``Cash'' is the name wife June Carter reserves for ``the star, the egomaniac.'' The star gets plenty of ink here, from the early days at Sun Records--with Elvis, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis--to his current status as a darling of the alternative rock set. But it's the private man who's most compelling and surprisingly complex. Cash writes candidly of his recurring addiction to amphetamines and his concomitant shortcomings as a father, addresses his spirituality without sounding maudlin, and displays genuine humility at his success and very little bitterness at his abandonment by the country music establishment. A more accurate subtitle might be ``The Second Autobiography,'' since this volume covers some of the same ground as Cash's previous work, The Man in Black (1986), but a life so chock full of oddments (he once started a forest fire with an automobile and on another occasion was nearly disemboweled by an ostrich) and renegade stands (he opposed Vietnam, heresy to the nation's blue- collar constituency) easily merits a second look. Organized around the domiciles where he divides his time--homes in Tennessee, Florida, and Jamaica, as well as his tour bus--the book stays grounded in the present, mixing reflections on his 40-year career with a running chronicle of an ongoing tour. This novel approach minimizes the as-told-to blahs that plague many a celebrity autobiography and highlights Cash's wry humor and introspection. With the help of Carr, editor of Country Music magazine, Cash keeps the pace lively until the end, when the roses he throws everyone from grandkids to music biz buddies bog things down. Mostly, though, a pungent, substantive autobiography from one the most iconoclastic talents on the American music scene.

这本书中对细节的考据达到了令人发指的地步，简直像是进行了一次深度的田野调查，而不是简单的文献整理。我注意到，在描述某个特定历史时期某个小镇的生活场景时，作者甚至连当时使用的某种特定材质的工具的纹理和声音都描绘得栩栩如生。这种对环境肌理的捕捉，让整个故事的背景不再是一个苍白的布景，而是活生生地呼吸着，拥有自己的温度和气味。例如，书中提及某种特定户外演出的烟火气味，那种混合了尘土、汗水和劣质啤酒的独特气味，我几乎能想象到自己正站在人群中央，被那种原始的生命力所震撼。更让我惊奇的是，作者似乎对人物的微小习惯有着超乎寻常的洞察力。譬如，对某位角色在紧张时下意识摩挲衣角边缘的习惯的多次不动声色的提及，这种看似无关紧要的“零碎信息”，却在不经意间丰富了角色的立体感，让人感觉到他们是真实存在过，有着自己的不安与执念的。这种对“真实感”的极致追求，让这本书的阅读体验超越了纯粹的文学欣赏，更像是一次对特定时代片段的考古，充满了发现的乐趣。
评分我必须强调这本书在情感复杂性处理上的高明之处。它极其克制地处理了“痛苦”与“韧性”之间的关系，拒绝了将人物简化为单一标签的诱惑。书中描绘的那些身处困境中的个体，他们绝不是简单的受害者形象，他们的痛苦往往与其自身的某种执拗和选择紧密相连，是一种“自食其果”的悲剧美感。作者没有将痛苦描绘成一个需要被外界安慰或治愈的外物，反而更侧重于展示个体如何在自我施加的重压之下，挖掘出那股近乎蛮横的生存意志。比如，当角色面临绝望时，反应不是崩溃大哭，而是一种近乎固执的、与命运较劲的姿态，这种“不屈服于被定义的命运”的态度，才是这本书最核心的驱动力。这种对人类精神深处那种原始、野蛮的生命力的肯定，远远超越了寻常的励志故事所能达到的深度，它没有提供廉价的答案，而是展示了在最黑暗的角落，人性是如何选择去“继续成为自己”，哪怕代价是巨大的，这种探讨的深度和广度，让我合上书本后，依然在与自己的内心进行一场深刻的对话，久久不能平息。
评分我对这本书的叙事节奏把握得近乎苛刻的赞叹。它不是那种平铺直叙、事无巨细的流水账式记录，而是充满了音乐般的起伏和转折。作者似乎深谙如何运用“留白”的艺术，有些至关重要的转折点，它不会用大段的文字去渲染和剖析，而是巧妙地通过环境的突然变化，或者一个简短的、意味深长的对话戛然而止，将情感的张力推向顶点，逼迫读者自己去填补那份情绪的空白。这种处理方式极大地调动了我的代入感，让我感觉自己不是一个旁观者，而更像是一个同步经历者，在那些关键的低谷和高潮中，呼吸都跟着被打乱。再者，书中对于不同时间线的切换处理得极其流畅自然，没有丝毫生硬的跳跃感，读起来像是一条蜿蜒的河流，时而汇入支流，时而奔腾入海，但主线始终清晰可见。特别是那些涉及内心挣扎的部分，作者运用了大量意象化的语言，比如“空气凝固成琥珀”这样的比喻，虽然直白却又充满了力量，精准地捕捉到了那种被困住又无力挣脱的复杂心绪，让人读后久久不能释怀，反复咀嚼其中的深意。
评分这本书的装帧设计真是绝妙，封面采用了那种复古的深褐色皮革质感，触感粗粝却又带着一丝丝岁月的沉淀感，中央的烫金字体在光线下微微闪烁，透露出一种低调的王者风范。我尤其喜欢封底那张模糊的、像是老照片一样的背景图，虽然看不清具体细节，但那种氛围感扑面而来，让人立刻联想到某种充满故事的过往。内页的纸张选择也很有讲究，偏向米白色的哑光纸张，不仅阅读起来非常舒适，不容易反光，而且油墨的印制效果极佳，文字的锐利度和层次感都拿捏得恰到好处，感觉每一次翻页都是对某种珍贵记忆的开启。装订工艺看得出来是非常扎实的，书脊的胶合紧密，即便我经常带着它在通勤路上翻阅，书本也丝毫没有松散的迹象，这对于一本可能需要反复阅读和查阅的书籍来说，简直是太贴心了。而且，这本书的开本设计得非常适中，既有足够的阅读版面，又方便单手持握，拿在手里沉甸甸的感觉，总能给人一种内容分量十足的心理预期。从排版上看，行距和字距的间距处理得非常人性化，长时间阅读眼睛也不会感到疲劳，这背后无疑是设计团队在细节上倾注了极大的心血，让阅读体验从一开始就上升到了一个更高的层次，远远超出了普通书籍的范畴，更像是一件值得收藏的艺术品。
评分这本书的语言风格呈现出一种奇特的、近乎宗教式的虔诚与世俗的粗砺的完美融合，这种二元对立的张力是它最引人入胜的地方之一。一方面，在探讨核心的、关于生存意义和精神救赎的主题时，文字变得极其凝练和富有哲思，仿佛是从古老的经文或布道中截取出来，充满了对“救赎”这个概念近乎偏执的追问，那些句子读起来铿锵有力，具有很强的说服力。然而，当叙事转向日常的、烟火气十足的生活场景时，笔锋一转，突然变得极其接地气，充满了俚俗的表达和不加修饰的直白，仿佛能听到人物在酒馆里互相吆喝的声音，那种未经雕琢的生命力扑面而来，毫不掩饰其瑕疵和缺陷。这种高低起伏的语言处理，使得全书既有仰望星空的宏大叙事，又不失脚踏实地的人间烟火气。它没有刻意去美化任何事物，而是坦然接受了生活本来的面目——既有神圣的光芒，也有泥泞的挣扎，正是这种不加粉饰的诚实，才让其情感表达具有了穿透人心的力量，让人愿意放下所有评判，单纯地去感受。

评分大概我与很多华人一样，对Johnny Cash 都并不熟悉和了解。豆瓣算是一个小众、但对音乐、电影、图书、艺术类人物和信息认知较高的平台，但没有多少人对Johnny Cash 的音乐、纪录片、传记作出过评论。如果不是昨天前往他的纪念馆走访一下,同时我顺手入手一本关于他的传记，然后今天认真地Google 了关于他的故事，才发现，我早就认识他。其中的一出以他为真实故事改编的电影《为你钟情》，早早便看过。他的人生经历，有善善恶恶，见过总统，常常到监狱为犯人唱歌，创作无数首经典歌曲，曾经有非常糟糕的习惯，但后来因爱情而变回成好人……还是值得好奇探究一下的。列入在读书单。Yeah!
