{"product_id":"after-the-flood-robert-polito-9780871402936","title":"After the Flood: Inside Bob Dylan's Memory Palace","description":"\u003cp\u003eA prevailing narrative goes: Bob Dylan, the voice of Sixties counterculture, disappeared in the 1970s, then released arguably the worst music of his career in the 1980s--only to be resurrected in 2016, when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Dylan's concerts once began with an announcer intoning a deadpan version of just such a narrative. That is not this story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on thousands of pages of archival materials, \u003cem\u003eAfter the Flood\u003c\/em\u003e reveals Dylan's output during the last three decades as his most ambitious yet. Across an abecedarium of chapters surveying his albums, performances, films, and books since the early 1990s, celebrated poet and biographer Robert Polito shows how Dylan evolved a late musical style that has embodied and resisted its era--interweaving Ovid and Americana, film noir and the Civil War. Imaginatively researched, \u003cem\u003eAfter the Flood\u003c\/em\u003e is both an essential revision and continuation of the Dylan saga.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Polito\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0871402939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780871402936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Robert Polito","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46974436901119,"sku":"9780871402936","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff541dad-9cc9-4926-8201-48e5fb6aded0.jpg?v=1750875025","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/after-the-flood-robert-polito-9780871402936","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
