Synopsis
This new illustrated edition features key images from across Dylan's remarkable and enduring career, making it an essential addition to every fan's collection.
Robert Shelton met Bob Dylan when the young singer arrived in New York in 1961 and became his friend, champion, and critic.
Originally published in 1986, No Direction Home was hailed as the definitive unauthorized biography of Bob Dylan and remains the only biography written with his active cooperation. Drawing on exclusive interviews with Dylan's parents, brother, childhood friends, fellow musicians and Suze Rotolo, the inspiration behind the iconic cover of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan , Shelton creates an intimate portrait of the artist's formative years.
Concluding with Dylan backstage during his triumphant 1978 world tour, the book took 20 years to complete. When it was finally published, it received widespread critical acclaim. Following Dylan's Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016, his standing reached its highest point since the 1960s, and Shelton's biography is now regarded as a classic.
