Dylan's Visions of Sin

There is no shortage of books about Bob Dylan. This one, however, is unique in its approach and the virtuosity of its execution.

He does so with what one critic has described as 'an ultimately irresistible combination of laser-like intelligence with a fan's exuberant idolatry'.
