Bob Dylan and Other Late Style Encounters: Outliving Life focuses on Bob Dylan's decades-long late period, and considers other late style virtuosos such as Goya, Yeats, and Louise Bourgeois, to raise the stakes of engaging with age and strong art. Late-style criticism has posited a special potency in artists who have flourished in advanced age: a potency of excess, difficulty, and resistance. This book explores the richness of 'sensational' late style across topics such as the temporality of 'overliving, ' ambiguous immortalities, the ethos of Dylan's signature collage/bricolage method of composition, and late-style historical consciousness. The book uses Dylan's ironworks and the unclassifiable 2020 publication, The Philosophy of Modern Song, to illustrate divergence in late-style character. Bob Dylan and Other Late Style Encounters argues for a vital experience of presence in close encounters with strong late art.
