Dreams and Dialogues in Dylan’s "Time Out of Mind" by Graley Herren
This book studies Bob Dylans album Time Out of Mind as a series of dreams. These dreams work on three distinct levels: as murder ballads about a killer awaiting execution, as religious allegory about a protagonist torn between salvation and damnation, and as meditation on race and music in America."Under Graley Herren's expert analyses, the songs on Time Out Of Mind do not stand as merely timeless, but drenched in time, echoing against one another to reveal their resilience and profound timelinessMultifaceted, this brilliant study shines a much-needed light on Dylan's prismatic, hybrid late style. Truly provocative." — Dr. Robert Reginio, Professor, Division of English, Alfred University, US
"Graley Herren delves into Bob Dylan’s Time Out of Mind, an album whose songs are made up of dreamscapes. His journey into the lyrical genius of Dylan brings to the surface thoughtful and cultural relevant dialogues around violence, race and the liminal space between salvation and damnation." — Katherine Weiss, Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Letters, California State University, Los Angeles, US
"Almost every Dylan album deserves its own book. Time Out of Mind deserves several, though it’s hard to imagine a better one than this, a work of serious literary criticism illuminating a seminal album— Dylan 'getting back in and fighting [his] way out of a corner' as he put it—from perhaps the richest vein of the artist’s work, his brilliant and often neglected or shortchanged work from the past 25 years." — Kevin Barents, Professor, Arts and Sciences Writing Program, Boston University, US
"Any one curious as to why Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize for Literature is well advised to read Graley Herren’s indispensable guide to Dylan’s 1997 album Time Out of Mind. In Herren’s hands, the record provides a panoramic view of the entirety of Dylan’s musical career and lifelong religious quest. — Barry Faulk, Professor, The English Department, Florida State University, US
