Rolling Stone, October, 2010
“As a critic, Greil Marcus is a tough crowd—his bullshit detector should get some kind of Nobel Prize. No writer has followed Bob Dylan as closely or as passionately as Marcus, who makes the man's whole career seem like one wild American adventure. And nobody has ever written about Dylan with so much savage wit.... In this essential anthology, Marcus chronicles Dylan's ups and downs.... The collection reads like the journal of a 40-year love story.... Through it all, Marcus' words are restless and probing—a true match for Dylan's voice."
Book Page, December 2010
Minneapolis Start Tribune, Best Nonfiction of 2010
“A wondrous pairing of one of the greatest musicians in American history and one of our greatest music journalists.... These pieces create a vivid, fascinating portrait of how, through his long and trailblazing career, Dylan has drawn from and utterly reinvented the landscape of traditional American song. Marcus' collected celebrations (and occasional disappointed criticisms) of Dylan are must-reading for Dylan devotees everywhere.”
Robert Loss , Bookslut, December 6, 2010
“Eccentric, volatile, persuasive: Bob Dylan by Greil Marcus: Writings 1968-2010 reads like the free adventure offered by its subject.... A clutch of dispatches from a correspondent grown skeptical but still capable of being surprised -- who in fact wants to be surprised.... Marcus is simply one of the few in his field who can match Dylan on a subject they both find fascinating: America.”

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The book begins in Berkeley in 1968, and ends with a piece on Dylan's show at the University of Minnesota on election night in 2008. In between are moments of euphoric discover: from Marcus' sleeve notes for the 1967 Basement Tapes to his exploration of Dylan's reimagining of the American Experience in 1997's Time Out of Mind. And rejection; Marcus's Rolling Stone piece on Dylan's album Self Portrait - often referred to as the most famous record review ever written - began with 'What is this shit?' and led to his departure from the magazine for five years. Marcus follows not only recordings but performances, books, movies, and all manner of highways and byways in which Bob Dylan has made himself felt in our culture. Together, the dozens of pieces collected here comprise a portrait of how, throughout his career, Bob Dylan has drawn upon and reinvented the landscape of American song, its myths and choruses, heroes and villains. They are the result of more than forty years' engagement between an unparalleled artist and a uniquely acute listener. His foremost interpreter revisits more than forty years of listening to Dylan - weaving individual moods and moments into a brilliant history of their changing times.
