Description

On a snowy winter morning in 1961, Robert Zimmerman left Minnesota for New York City with a suitcase, guitar, harmonica and a few bucks in his pocket. He performed at the Cafe Wha? in his first day in the city under the name Bob Dylan.

The cultural landscape of Greenwich Village over the next decade played a pivotal role in shaping one of the greatest songwriters of all time. From coffeehouses on MacDougal Street to Andy Warhol's Factory, Dylan honed his craft by drifting in and out of New York's thriving arts scenes of the 1960s and early 1970s.

This revised edition, originally published in 2011, offers a fascinating account of how a city influenced an American icon and the people and places that were central to Dylan's legendary journey.
