Review:
"A panoramic vision of Bob Dylan, his music, his shifting place in American culture, from multiple angles. In fact, reading Sean Wilentz' Bob Dylan in America is as thrilling and surprising as listening to a great Dylan song"--Martin Scorsese
"All the American connections that Wilentz draws to explain the appearance of Dylan's music are fascinating, particularly at the outset the connection to Aaron Copland. The writing is strong, the thinking is strong - the book is dense and strong everywhere you look"--Philip Roth
"From the shelves full of Dylan books this and one other... are the ones to read."--Sunday Times
"Among those who write regularly about Dylan, Wilentz possesses the rare virtues of modesty, nuance and lucidity..."--Scotland on Sunday
"The stuff on the recording of Blonde on Blonde is fascinating"--The Observer
"Bob Dylan in America is vital reading"--Literary Review
"...fascinating account of the great man's 'unsteady pilgrimage'."--Allan Jones, Uncut
"Rejoice! Someone has something new to say about Bob Dylan... it will reshape your understanding of Dylan..."--Andy Fyfe, Q
"Wlientz combines his deep musical knowledge with the skills of the fine historian to write one of the most important, insightful and revelatory books about America, its culture and its people as interpreted through the works of one of its greatest artists."--Irish Times
