"Wonderfully insightful and important exploration of one of our country's most essential artists..."
"We Take Care of Our Own is a great read, an important addition to the Springsteen canon, and a serious look at the historical context of Springsteen's work in both American literature and visual art."
“Sawyers covers a remarkable amount of ground in a compact space, which will make for a resonant book and a piece of cultural criticism that looks at Springsteen’s work through a series of lenses, some of them unexpected, to help us understand the American experience in a new light.”
“Sawyers maps some of the most important issues at stake in Bruce Springsteen’s music, especially his twenty-first century work. By drawing on recent interviews and writing, she brings a fresh perspective to his story.”
