(Book). Robert Shelton met Bob Dylan when the young singer first arrived
in New York. He became Dylan's friend, champion, and critic. This book,
first published in 1986, was hailed as the definitive unauthorized
biography of this moody, passionate genius and his world. Dylan gave
Shelton access to his parents, Abe and Beatty Zimmerman whom no other
journalist has ever interviewed in depth; to his brother, David; to
childhood friends from Hibbing; to fellow students and friends from
Minneapolis; and to Suze Rotolo, the muse immortalized on the cover of
Freewheelin' , among others. No Direction Home took 20 years to
complete and received widespread critical acclaim. Two decades on,
Dylan's standing is higher than at any time since the 1960s and
Shelton's book is now seen as a classic of the genre. Today, everything
Bob Dylan does guarantees saturation media coverage, and a new edition
of No Direction Home is long overdue. This new edition, published to
coincide with Dylan's 70th birthday on May 24, 2011, restores
significant parts of Shelton's original manuscript and also includes key
images of Dylan throughout his incredible, enduring career, alongside
updated footnotes and bibliography, and a new selective discography,
making it a must for all Dylan aficionados. (a
