Greil Marcus on his book "The Shape of Things to Come"

Fascinating conversation with renowned music journalist, cultural critic and author Greil Marcus on his new book "The Shape of Things to Come: Prophecy and the American Voice". He has authored many previous books including "Mystery Train: Images of America in Rock 'n' Roll Music" and "Lipstick Traces: A Secret History of the Twentieth Century". In this conversation, Greil discusses "The Shape of Things to Come" and its "kaleidoscopic investigation of American identity" -- he ruminates as only he can about what America actually is -- an idea -- and how this has impacted the country and its idea of itself since its founding to today. An extraordinary discussion with a master writer and storyteller on how he sees America and how America sees itself.
