Steeped but not drowned in cultural studies, David Yaffe offers fresh and sometimes prickly insight about Bob Dylan's art. Yaffe reads closely and listens hard, and his book will have you saying, 'aha!' again and again. --Sean Wilentz, Sidney and Ruth Lapidus Professor of History, Princeton University, and author of Bob Dylan in America --Sean Wilentz (11/30/2010)

With a keen ear for Dylan''s musical influences, vocal changes, and literary borrowings, David Yaffe captures the dramatic twists and turns of Dylan''s creative life, especially his chamelon-like shifts of identity, his protean elusiveness. --Morris Dickstein, author Gates of Eden and Dancing in the Dark --Morris Dickstein (08/20/2010)

Mr. Yaffe has excellent chapters . . . approaching at times the intensity of prose poetry. --David Yezzi, The Wall Street Journal --David Yezzi The Wall Street Journal
