Once Upon a Time by Ian Bell
Written with an intelligence and verve rarely found in rock biography, the mysterious artist that is Bob Dylan is illuminated through the cultural history of his time.
“Bell writes beautifully, in rhythmic, incantatory, proseAn imagined reliving of an already imaginary life, and a book to sit alongside Richard Ellmann on Wilde, John Richardson on Picasso, and Peter Ackroyd on Dickens. This is the best Dylan biography yet.” -- The Financial Times
“Exceptional. Bell writes about Dylan's America with a cultural perception that is profound. Intelligent, challenging, and altogether worthy of its enigmatic subject.” -- The Herald (London)
“Ambitious. Bell handles Dylan brilliantly.” -- The Spectator
