And Forget My Name : A Speculative Biography of Bob Dylan

Summary: OK here it is....
Review: Ok i wrote an earlier review saying that i hadn't read this book, but was just letting people know that it was a poem. Upon completing the book i can give a more indepth review. This book is a poem, and it only documents up to when Dylan is a late teen. The book is less about Dylan and more about his Town and his ancestors. It is very clever and well written, you could read this book cover to cover in one sitting. If you are looking for a review of Dylan's life this is not the place to look. This book is however great if you want an impression of Dylan's childhood and surrondings. There is some powerful imagery in this book that will stay with you long after you put it down. Worth the buy as long as you realize what you are receiving.

Summary: Keep in mind
Review: This book is by far the BEST Dylan biography out there! Its way better than Marsh's Glory Days (which - for some reason seems to be more about Springsteen than Dylan!). Just get it!

Review: This is an excellent companion to Dylan's new autobiographny. A brilliantly written and imagistic volume on Dylan's formative years, when he is a teenager and first finding his voice as an artist. The reader feels as though they are growing up in Hibbing with Robert Zimmerman who was to become Bob Dylan. Stephen Scobie provides an authentic but objective atmosphere to the formation of a great 20th century artist.I have had my interest in Dylan renewed by the release of his autobiography and so I went back to this book a second time and it still seems as fresh as when I first read it. I highly recommend thnis excellent volume.
