Riassunto

'I met Bob Dylan in 1961 when I was seventeen years old and he was twenty...' So begins the acclaimed memoir of Suze Rotolo, the woman who was Bob Dylan's girlfriend in the early sixties. She reveals the romantic story of their sweet but sometimes wrenching love affair and its eventual collapse under the pressure of Dylan's growing fame. Despite having never previously raised her head above the parapet to write about her time with him, people are probably more familiar with Rotolo than they might think: it is she who is pictured arm in arm with Dylan on the iconic sleeve of his 1963 sophomore album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. Set during the time when Dylan was writing the soundtrack to the cultural revolution of the 1960s, this is a unique and remarkable narrative of a place and time when art, culture and politics all seemed to be conspiring to make America a freer, more equitable place. With a supporting cast that includes Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Phil Ochs, Joan Baez and Andy Warhol, this is essential reading for Dylan fans and anyone fascinated by the Sixties.

Su questo libro

Recensione

'A mouthwatering prospect. Rotolo was easily the second-most-compelling interviewee on No Direction Home; I hung onto her every word... The interest lies purely in the insight a very intelligent woman might provide on the formative period of a great artist' --The Dylan Daily

'Of all the unwritten books on Dylan, the most thoroughly documented musician of his era, this is perhaps the one most desired by his fans.' --The Guardian, August 16th 2008

'A welcome, page-turning perspective conspicuously absent from the plethora of books on Dylan and the folk era of the 1960s: that of a woman witnessing it all from its cultural and political epicenter.' --Todd Haynes, screenwriter and director of I'm Not There
