I am pleased to advance the news that I will be taking part in the international conference THE WORLD OF BOB DYLAN, to be held from 30 May to 2 June 2019 at the University of Tulsa (Oklahoma), today a major centre for Dylan studies and seat of the Bob Dylan archive:
https://dylan.utulsa.edu/world-bob-dylan-symposium/#.
Among the keynote speakers will be as major a Dylan critic as Greil Marcus: this will indeed be a key event in Dylan studies!
My own paper will be entitled:
‘Dylan the writer at work: on the multiple versions of ‘Dignity’ and the two versions of ‘Ain’t Talkin”,
and in it I will be examining Dylan’s writing process with reference to two of his most challenging later-period songs.
