How to Write About Bob Dylan: A Step-by-Step Guide
Midnight at the Barrelhouse
As a big fan of Johnny Otis's crackling memoirs Listen to the Lambs (1968) and Upside Your Head: Rhythm and Blues on Central Avenue (1993)—each reissued featuring a foreword by George Lipsitz—I was originally skeptical about the added value of a standard biography. Why give up Otis's unique voice—honed on the bandstand, radio, and pulpit—for a third-person account of his life? While the memoirs are still essential, my reservations about Midnight …

Reflections on the Folk
Keeping with our theme, “Uses of the Folk,” we asked three scholars from different disciplines to reflect on the uses of folklore as historical source material.

It was our hope that such an open-ended invitation might uncover a significant common ground among the different academic approaches to folklore,…
Magic in the Air

It also sets the stories themselves within traditions in children's literature, where orphans and schools and magic may work as they do in these novels to expunge with parents any class or geographical specificity from the worlds they inhabit. Finally, the work is looked a…
