A Freewheelin' Time: A Memoir of Greenwich Village in the Sixties

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A “perceptive, entertaining, and often touching” (Salon) memoir of one woman’s love affair with an up-and-coming Bob Dylan, and an intimate reflection of 1960s subculture at its most creative “[A] rollicking homage to a revolutionary age.”—Vogue “Through [Rotolo’s] eyes, we see Dylan as a unique artist on his way to greatness.”—People A shy girl from Queens, Suze Rotolo was the daughter of Italian working-class Communists, growing up at the dawn of the Cold War. It was the age of McCarthy and Suze was an outsider in her neighborhood and at school. She found solace in poetry, art, and music—and in Greenwich Village, where she encountered like-minded and politically active friends. One hot July day in 1961, Suze met Bob Dylan, then a rising musician, at a concert at Riverside Church. She was seventeen, he was twenty; they were both vibrant, curious, and inseparable. During the years they were together, Dylan transformed from an obscure folk singer into an uneasy spokesperson for a generation. A hopeful, intimate memoir of a vital movement at its most creative, A Freewheelin’ Time captures the excitement of youth, the heartbreak of young love, and the struggles for a brighter future in a time when everything seemed possible.
