Studio A: The Bob Dylan Reader

Studio A chronicles the creator of some of the most indelible popular music of our time, a restless and protean figure whose career has been the subject of repeated transformations, declines and comebacks. From early singles such as Blowin' in the Wind to recent albums like Love and Theft, Bob Dylan has proved himself to be the greatest lyricist of modern songwriters and the poet laureate of the 1960s. literary criticisms and interviews. Contributors include Dylan himself, Sam Shepard, Bruce Springsteen, Clive James, Allen Ginsberg and Johnny Cash, and the text features previously unpublished work by Joyce Carol Oates, Gary Giddins, Rick Moody, Tom Piazza and Barry Hannah.
