The perfect book for Dylan fans and anyone with an interest in songwriting and lyrics.


Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read an advance digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Rats! This book got dumped from my kindle somehow, and it was archived before I had the chance to read it.

Absolutely intriguing! I’ve listened to Bob Dylan all my life and it is wonderful to find out more about the lyrics and meanings to his words! A must read for all Dylan fans!

An academic treatise on Dylan's oeuvre based on the premise that it's all linked to Catholicism. People may not agree with this hypothesis but it's interesting nonetheless. Worth a read.

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I downloaded this book, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how exhaustive and extensive it was. I absolutely love art history books, and this felt like that, but on a different subject matter. Obviously, Dylan fans should pick it up, but I also think it will be a good fit for pop culture fans. and fans of history, musical or otherwise. What an interesting find!
