A Kaleidoscopic Look at the Many Faces of Bob Dylan For almost half
a century, Bob Dylan has been a primary catalyst in rock's shifting
sensibilities. Few American artists are as important, beloved, and
endlessly examined, yet he remains something of an enigma. Who, we
ask, is the "real" Bob Dylan? Is he Bobby Zimmerman, yearning to
escape Hibbing, Minnesota, or the Woody Guthrie wannabe playing
Greenwich Village haunts? Folk Messiah, Born-Again Bob, Late-Elvis
Dylan, Jack Fate, or Living National Treasure? In "Who Is That
Man?," David Dalton--cultural historian, journalist, screenwriter,
and novelist--paints a revealing portrait of the rock icon,
ingeniously exposing the three-card monte games he plays with his
persona. Guided by Dalton's cutting-edge insights and
myth-debunking point of view, "Who Is That Man?" follows Dylan's
imaginative life, integrating actual events with Dylan's words and
those of the people who know him most intimately. Drawing upon
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
others--this book will provide a new perspective on the man, the
myth, and the musical era that forged them both.
