This book was a big let down for me. It's mostly about the music business in American in the early 1960s with endless mentions of people and venues that mean nothing to me. Anything about Bob Dylan is a very minor part of the writing and is then focussed on his being Jewish and supposedly denying it. I have no idea if Dylan denied his Jewishness or it really was just not a big deal to him. This book feels like pure speculation and comes across as merely the author's personal views on Bob Dylan and his faith.

This is a different type of biography book.
It focuses on the 1960s, and Dylan’s escape from roots; his Jewishness.
There are several insights on the cultural, social and music scenes of the times, Dylan’s finding of his tone and signature style.
It was interesting to read about the concerts in Dublin and Belfast and how Dylan came to terms with his identities.
