Title: Fatuous nonsense
Product review: A book on the legendary Basement Tapes by a notorious pop cult guru? Sounds promising. Unfortunately, Marcus's INVISIBLE REPUBLIC is mandarin gibberish, the work of an enormously overrated writer engaged in the kind of pseudo-intellectual wanking that's actually embarrassing to read. Marcus's problem is that he thinks he's Wittgenstein on acid when he's really just a journalistic Elmer Fudd hyped up on double latte--a boring narcissist with a penchant for turgid prose. Don't subsidize this guy; he doesn't deserve it. There's good criticism on Dylan out there; don't waste your time reading this drivel.
