Robert shelton bob dylan7/6/2023 Next month sees the publication of three major new books and one reissue: a new account of Dylan’s early life by his renowned biographer Clinton Heylin a collection of new writing on Dylan, edited by Latham an idiosyncratic reassessment of Dylan’s life and work from the writer Paul Morley and a re-edited version of Robert Shelton’s 1986 biography, Bob Dylan: No Direction Home.Ĭentral to it all is the establishment of the Bob Dylan Archive in Tulsa, a depository of about 100,000 items bought from Dylan for a cool $20m by the George Kaiser Family Foundation, Kaiser being one of the billionaire philanthropists in which the US seems to specialise. The anniversary coincides with a burgeoning of the Dylan industry being led as much by US academia as by Dylan’s faithful following of “Bobcats”. Whether it will take as long to decipher Dylan’s extensive oeuvre – 600-odd songs, 39 studio albums, a novel, a memoir, one film as director, several more as actor, a half-dozen documentaries, innumerable concerts, a cache of paintings – seems doubtful given the critical and biographical weight already bearing on him as he approaches his 80th birthday on 24 May. With the centenary of his masterwork arriving in 2022, Joyce has perhaps been proved right.

Chasing cassandra book review7/6/2023 I really loved how the gentle and kind Cassandra really shakes up Tom’s life and expectations of himself. That was perfectly fine with me because he is such an interesting and damaged character that his journey was compelling to me. OPINION: Tom is definitely the star in this book. There is a compelled by circumstances marriage and Tom and Cassandra try and manage their expectations of one another. But Cassandra wants to marry for love and Tom knows that he cannot love. THE STORY: The first glimpse of Lady Cassandra Ravenel is enough for railroad magnate Tom Severin to know that she was exactly what he wanted. Cassandra is a kind person and the way she gentles Tom is wonderful, but Tom is the compelling character in this one. FINAL DECISION: Fabulous ending for the Ravenels series although I admit to being much more interested in Tom than in Cassandra. from Columbia University in 1960, and continued further graduate work at George Washington University from 1961 to 1964. in English literature from Mount Holyoke College in 1954, her M.A. She graduated from Oakwood School in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1950, received her B.A. McHenry was born Mary Elizabeth Williamson Murphy in Washington, D.C., to Alphonso Williamson (who worked with the Library of Congress) and Elizabeth Bennett Williamson (a teacher).
