Dreams and Dialogues in Dylans 'Time Out of Mind'

This book studies Bob Dylan's 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.
