Bob Dylan: Like a complete unknownBy Pete NMy son in law is a huge fan of Bob Dylan and when this came out I read a review and gave it as a Christmas gift. He was surprised and commented on what a good read it is.6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Series of DylansBy William B. JonesDavid Yaffe portrays a series of Bob Dylans in this tightly-packed volume. and whether you grin. gimace. or notice the inside reference to Dylans song "A Series of Dreams" in the first half of this sentence may signal whether you want to delve in or move on. If you grinned. read on. If you grimaced. you may want to save your dime. And if you didnt notice. be forewarned Yaffe doesnt always tell you what youve missed as you go. But for the initiated. its still good fun.He titles his opening chapter. for example. after poet Philip Larkins reference to Dylans "cawing. derisive voice" on "Highway 61 Revisited". Yaffe wonders (and wanders) briefly about where to place Dylan among The Poets (including Ginsberg. Wallace Stevens and TS Eliot) before moving on to the Necessity of Dylan for enabling history to know such voices as Jimi Hendrix. Leonard Cohen. Neil Young and Patti Smith. The certitude of the authors voice (that is. Yaffes) is in little doubt here. but his theses will need more fleshing out for those new to studies of Mr. Dylan.So. for example. from Yaffe one might bridge to further coverage on Dylans (and Larkins) "Songs. Poems and Rhymes" in Chistopher Ricks 2005 volume "Dylans Visions of Sin". and on to "The Ballad of Bob Dylan" by Daniel Mark Epstein for a longitudinal blend of biograph. political context and listener experience.
