Waiting for Self-Portrait

For 200 pages this is just what a Bob Dylan biography ought to be. There is everything about Dylan's life up to his rock period in 1965 except an interview with Hibbing's Good Humor man, and it's the best of everything at that. All the people who knew Dylan best make their appearance and speak their piece, from Hibbing's high school to Minneapolis' Dinkytown to the early Village hangers-on and performers.
