Book review: A Freewheelin' Time: A Memoir of Greenwich Village in the Sixties, by Suze Rotolo

This book was published in 2008, and the author died in 2011. However, the film "A Complete Unknown" has created a resurgence of interest in Bob Dylan and the 1960's Greenwich Village scene.

I could reduce this review to one sentence by writing, if you liked "A Complete Unknown", you will like this book.

Still reading? Then, let's start with who Suze Rotolo was. She was on the cover of Dylan's second album, "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan", and the songs "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" and "Ballad in Plain D" were written about her. However, the book doesn't have all that much to say about her relationship with Dylan, other than her mother didn't like him, and she broke up with him because she got fed up with the lying and cheating. However, Rotolo was a political activist, and was definitely an influence in the social conscience songs that Dylan was writing at the time.
