As a writer and performer, he has rewritten the national songbook in a way that comes from his own vision and yet can feel as if it belongs to anyone who might listen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eFolk Music\u003c\/i\u003e, Greil Marcus tells Dylan's story through seven of his most transformative songs. Marcus's point of departure is Dylan's ability to \"see myself in others.\" Like Dylan's songs, this book is a work of implicit patriotism and creative skepticism. It illuminates Dylan's continuing presence and relevance through his empathy--his imaginative identification with other people. This is not only a deeply felt telling of the life and times of Bob Dylan but a rich history of American folk songs and the new life they were given as Dylan sat down to write his own.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGreil Marcus\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many books, from \u003ci\u003eMystery Train\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eUnder the Red White and Blue: Patriotism, Disenchantment and the Stubborn Myth of the Great Gatsby\u003c\/i\u003e.
