Bob Dylan In America On Labor Day

Gee, Bob Dylan has been written about a lot.
As the New York Times’ Bruce Handy notes, there is even a book that
itemizes Bob Dylan’s copyright registrations and copyright-related documents.
Labors of love all and there is anew one that attempts to place Dylan in his own country. Dylan In America by Sean Wilentz -a history professor at Princeton..
The last book about Dylan was by the great man himself, Chronicles, a very enlightening look into the way the man functions.
According to Wilentz, his book offers: “hints and provocations, written in the spirit that holds hints, diffused clues and indirections as the most we can look forward to before returning to the work itself — to Dylan’s work.”
Yeah, sounds an awful lot like hard work to me.
Happy Labor Day.
