...Stoppard loves playing around with dramatic from: the characters in his plays see themselves as figuratively or literally on a stage. Fassbinder displays a similar interest in form, and a feeling for intricate vision detail to match Stoppard's verbal relish. Match this pair with Nabokov, with his witty, self-conscious prose and playful pokes at literary form and point-of-view, and you have a threesome so finely tuned that they practically exclude the rest of us.

DYLAN TRIES TO FIT a ballad into his new style in "Changin of the Guard", but cannot quite pull it off. The ballad's lyrics, full of the never-quite-clear symbols Dylan has used with such relish over the past few years, just does not mesh with the music; the keyboard work is a little too slick, the background vocals...
