by Michael GrayThe Bob Dylan Encyclopedia is one of the most wide-ranging, informed, entertaining,
provocative, and compulsively readable books ever written about popular music. It's the
culmination of over thirty years of dedicated research and scholarship by Michael Gray.
Inside these pages, you'll find a world of ideas, facts, and opinions. It's 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, it's a world in which everyone
and everything interconnects, in endlessly fascinating ways, with one of our
greatest living artists: Bob Dylan.
