Reviews

"A highly informed, yet intimately personal celebration of one of our most important living writers." -- NPR"A nimble gloss on Dylan's lyric genius."
-- USA Today"A masterstroke of literary detective work . . . and an exciting examination of an artist's enigmatic mind." -- Booklist (starred review)"Masterful, fun, passionate, learned, profound, and there's nothing like it. Thomas shows why Dylan deserves his Nobel--and how he hearkens back to, and enlists, the classics. Fantastic reading, full of gems." -- Cass R. Sunstein, Robert Walmsley University Professor, Harvard University
