Few American artists are as important, beloved, and endlessly examined, yet he remains something of an enigma. Who, we ask, is the \"real\" Bob Dylan? Is he Bobby Zimmerman, yearning to escape Hibbing, Minnesota, or the Woody Guthrie wannabe playing Greenwich Village haunts? Folk Messiah, Born-Again Bob, Late-Elvis Dylan, Jack Fate, or Living National Treasure? In \u003ci\u003eWho Is That Man?\u003c\/i\u003e David Dalton--cultural historian, journalist, screenwriter, and novelist--paints a revealing portrait of the rock icon, ingeniously exposing the three-card monte games he plays with his persona. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGuided by Dalton's cutting-edge insights and myth-debunking point of view, \u003ci\u003eWho Is That Man?\u003c\/i\u003e follows Dylan's imaginative life, integrating actual events with Dylan's words and those of the people who know him most intimately. Drawing upon Dylan's friends and fellow eyewitnesses--including Marianne Faithfull, Allen Ginsberg, Peter Stampfel, Larry \"Ratso\" Sloman, Eric Andersen, Nat Hentoff, Andrew Oldham, Nat Finkelstein, and others--this book will provide a new perspective on the man, the myth, and the musical era that forged them both.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Dalton\u003c\/b\u003e is a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author, founding editor of \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e, recipient of the Columbia School of Journalism Award, and winner of the Ralph J.
