Graley Herren is a Dylan scholar and Professor of English at Xavier University, located in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he has taught since completing his PhD work at Florida State University in 1998. He is known for his work in Modern Irish Literature, Modern Drama, Samuel Beckett, Don DeLillo, and Bob Dylan. He is the author of three books, Samuel Beckett's Plays on Film and Television, The Self-Reflexive Art of Don DeLillo, and, of course, Dreams and Dialogues in Dylan’s Time Out of Mind and many other scholarly publications. He is a member of the Editorial Board of the Dylan Review, a peer-reviewed journal on Dylan. He is also an award winning teacher (see picture on the right).

Searching through his resume, the name “Dylan” occurs 81 times! The oldest entry is, I believe, from 2015, so we are lucky that his attention became focused on Mr. Dylan in these last 8 years—and that he has been so prolific and made so many important contributions in this time. As of September, 2023, by my count he has produced 41 works on Dylan, which I’ll link under these headings:
Online blogs, discussions, and interviews
Articles and book chapters (many also online)

Bob Dylan likes making lists! While reading Dreams and Dialogues in Dylan’s Time Out of Mind we accumulated this list of key words: Transhistorical Transgression Transcending Transmigration Transubstantiation Transfiguration Transformation Transmission Transaction Transportation.

Yup, that sounds about right for Mr. Dylan: he’s on the move, fading in and out of lifetimes unmentionable by name.
