The Double Life of Bob Dylan: A Restless, Hungry Feeling, 1941-1966

From the world’s leading Dylan expert, this biography offers an understanding of the artist and musician, thanks to early access to Dylan’s never-before-studied archives. In 2016, Dylan sold his personal archive to the George Kaiser Foundation for $22 million. Author Clinton Heylin assessed the material and discovered much that previous biographers, including Dylan himself, had misrepresented.

This book recounts Dylan’s meteoric rise to fame: his arrival in New York in early 1961, his role as a protest song spokesman for the Civil Rights movement, his alleged betrayal at Newport in 1965, his controversial world tour with a rock band, and the recording of his electric masterpieces. At the height of his fame in July 1966, he crashed his motorbike in Woodstock and disappeared. When he reemerged, he had changed.
