{"product_id":"the-bob-dylan-encyclopedia","title":"The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bob Dylan Encyclopedia is one of the most wide-ranging  informed  entertaining  provocative  and compulsively readable books ever written about popular music. Its the culmination of over thirty years of dedicated research and scholarship by Michael Gray. Inside these pages  youll find a world of ideas  facts  and opinions. Its a world in which Baudelaire flows on from the Basement Tapes and A.S. Byatt looks out at the Byrds; in which Far from the Madding Crowd follows Ezekiel and Bob Geldof introduces Jean Genet; and in which Hank and William Carlos Williams stand side by side while J.R.R. Tolkien trails the Titanic. Most of all  of course  its a world in which everyone and everything interconnects  in endlessly fascinating ways  with one of our greatest living artists: Bob Dylan. \"Michael Gray... probably Dylans single most assiduous critic.\" -New York Review of Books \"Fans of Bob Dylan have a multitude of choices when it comes to biographies and retrospectives  but author Michael Gray outdistances them all with this voluminous collection of all things Dylan. ... Insightful and entertaining  Grays tome will broaden appreciation of the artist  his influences and his legacy.\" -Publishers Weekly (starred review) \"...has all you need to know  and more\" -Richard Corliss  Time \"This is no mere catalog of facts  but a work of oceanic immersion. It has wit  opinion  style  and asks to be read  not just consulted.\" -Village Voice \"Deeply impressive...destined to be the most important Dylan book  bar none.\"-Gerry Smith  The Dylan Daily \"Utterly idiosyncratic.\" -Janet Maslin  New York Times \"Amazingly well-researched and surprisingly readable work.\" -Library Journal (starred review) \"Door-stopping detail.\" -Toronto Star \"Magnificent...wont just astonish readers with its detail about Dylans work...contains so many insights and refutes so many myths about the rock n roll era in general that its invaluable as both a reference guide and a personality study.\" -Nashville City Paper \"Comprehensive and up-to-date.\" -Slate\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945877172277,"sku":"ByrdShop_0826469337","price":227.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780826469335_d0ae408c-d57f-4727-8a08-bcab438af03d.jpg?v=1771420716","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-bob-dylan-encyclopedia","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
