Bob Dylan

In this book, David Yaffe examines Bob Dylan from four distinct perspectives: his ironic and derisive voice, his mythic film image, his African-American sensibility, and his appropriation of others’ material in the folk-music tradition.

Yaffe delves into Dylan's shape-shifting career, highlighting his ability to reinvent himself and his music over the years, and explores his significant contributions to the civil rights movement and American culture.
