“[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
- Music
Her journey led her to 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
- The struggles for a brighter future
All set in a time when everything seemed possible.
