Guided by Dalton's cutting-edge insights and myth-debunking point of view, Who Is That Man? follows Dylan's imaginative life, integrating actual events with Dylan's words and those of the people who know him most intimately. Who, we ask, is the "real" Bob Dylan? Is he Bobby Zimmerman, yearning to escape Hibbing, Minnesota, or the Woody Guthrie wannabe playing Greenwich Village haunts? Folk Messiah, Born-Again Bob, Late-Elvis Dylan, Jack Fate, or Living National Treasure? In Who Is That Man? David Dalton-cultural historian, journalist, screenwriter, and novelist-paints a revealing portrait of the rock icon, ingeniously exposing the three-card monte games he plays with his persona. Few American artists are as important, beloved, and endlessly examined, yet he remains something of an enigma. For almost half a century, Bob Dylan has been a primary catalyst in rock's shifting sensibilities. Now in paperback and with a new foreword, a kaleidoscopic look at the many faces of Bob Dylan, legendary folk singer-songwriter and winner of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature.
