Book Description: A devastatingly original work that plunges into the emotional heart of the American psyche. Praised by Robbie Robertson of The Band as 'a classic & a ticket to ride,' The Rose & the Briar assembles an astonishing group of writers and artists: Paul Muldoon, Stanley Crouch, R. Crumb, Jon Langford of the Mekons, Sharyn McCrumb, Luc Sante, Joyce Carol Oates, Dave Marsh, and more than a dozen other novelists, essayists, performers, and critics; to explore the ineffable power of the American ballad. From 'Barbara Allen' through 'The Wreck of the Old 97' to contemporary ballads by Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, The Rose & the Briar is, as Geoffrey O'Brien hailed in the Los Angeles Times Book Review, 'a book full of internal echoes and provocative coincidences,' featuring 'historical investigation, shamanistic trance-journey, memoir, novella and cartoon,' where 'names and costumes change, soldiers become cowboys, demon lovers become backwoods murderer; the voices are unmistakably distinct but they share a common ground.' |
