Download Who Is That Man?: In Search of the Real Bob Dylan AudioBook Free
Now with a new foreword, a kaleidoscopic go through the many encounters of Bob Dylan, famous folk singer-songwriter and winner of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Books. For nearly half a hundred years, Bob Dylan is a principal catalyst in rock's shifting sensibilities. Few American painters are as important, precious, and endlessly evaluated, yet he remains something of enigma. Who, we ask, is the "real" Bob Dylan? Is he Bobby Zimmerman, yearning to flee Hibbing, Minnesota, or the Woody Guthrie wannabe playing Greenwich Village haunts? Folk Messiah, Born-Again Bob, Late-Elvis Dylan, Jack port Destiny, or Living Country wide Treasure? In Who IS THE FACT THAT Man? David Dalton - social historian, journalist, screenwriter, and novelist - paints a revealing family portrait of the rock icon, ingeniously revealing the three-card monte game titles he plays with his persona. Led by Dalton's cutting-edge insights and myth-debunking perspective, Who IS THE FACT THAT Man? comes after Dylan's imaginative life, integrating actual occurrences with Dylan's words and those of individuals who know him most intimately. Pulling after Dylan's friends and fellow eyewitnesses - including Marianne Faithfull, Allen Ginsberg, Peter Stampfel , Larry "Ratso" Sloman, Eric Andersen, Nat Hentoff, Andrew Oldham, Nat Finkelstein, and more - this book will provide a new perspective on the man, the myth, and the musical era that forged them both.
