"This painstakingly detailed biography documents the successes and failures of Bob Dylan, a protean artist. It is the story of a popular hero who denied his own heroism, of a rebel who so eloquently challenged his culture that he helped build a counterculture, and then turned against the excesses of what he'd helped to create. Dylan's career charted a social history of the last three decades before publication. The story touches on the Beatles, the Band, the Byrds, Baez, Brando, and an alphabet of others. Shelton examines the myths and distortions surrounding this restless, questing enigma. In the many voices of the people who've known him, and in his own voice, Shelton explores the artistic and spiritual births, deaths, and rebirths, and guises and incarnations, that are Bob Dylan."
