Description
Izzy Young was a distinctive figure in the folk music and beatnik world. He set up the Folklore Center in New York's Greenwich Village, where notable performers like Patti Smith, Emmylou Harris, and Allen Ginsburg performed, and he produced Bob Dylan's first show in New York in the 1960s. Thirty years later, Izzy is fighting dementia. In a raw and unembellished manner, Philomène depicts the emotional rollercoaster of losing a beloved parent to an invisible foe. Interspersed are small moments of joy as the fog briefly parts to allow for a reconnection. The story itself is highly universal, yet deeply personal. The book masterfully intertwines two timelines with a beautifully sparse language that vibrates with emotion.
