Bob Dylan In America

<p><b>A brilliantly written and groundbreaking book about Dylan's music &#150; now the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature 2016 &#150; and its musical political and cultural roots in early 20th-century America</b><br><br>Growing up in Greenwich Village in the 1960s Sean Wilentz discovered the music of Bob Dylan as a young teenager. Almost half a century later now a distinguished professor of American history he revisits Dylan's work with the critical skills of a scholar and the passion of a fan. <br><br>Drawing partly on his work as the current historian-in-residence on Dylan's official website Sean Wilentz provides a unique blend of biography memoir and analysis in a book which much like its subject shifts gears and changes shape as the occasion demands.</p>
