Advance Praise forA Freewheelin' Time: "Suze Rotolo and I must have crossed each others' paths countless times on those downtown New York streets during the post-Beat years when the area was a Mecca for the young and the quirky and the gifted. This was a magic era. Now the last of its funky monuments are being leveled by condo-ization, but its spirit persists strongly in Suze Rotolo. What a wonderful kid she must have been-brave, openhearted, keenly observant and preternaturally wise, able to rise to the challenge of loving a genius like Bob Dylan and knowing when to let go. I'm glad I finally got to meet her in these pages." -Joyce Johnson, author ofMinor Characters "Suze Rotolo digs hard and deep. Then she strolls, frets, and paints a gorgeous picture of a singular place and a time that was simpler but all tangled up. Best of all, she's a natural writer who puts the beguiling voice, skeptical brow, shining eyes, and conductor's hands I know right before you on the printed page. What's her secret?" -Sean Wilentz "A welcome, page-turning perspective conspicuously absent from the plethora of books on Dylan and the folk era of the 1960s: that of a woman witnessing it all from its cultural and political epicenter." -Todd Haynes, screenwriter and director ofI'm Not There "There have been a lot of books written about Greenwich Village in the sixties,and I've probably read all of them. What makes Suze's story so special is that she grew up in this neighborhood and she still lives here. She knows these crooked streets intimately, and they know her." -Steve Earle, "A delightful surprise . . . [Rotolo] gracefully captures Greenwich Village as an enchanted lost world." -- Entertainment Weekly "A portrait-of-an-era . . . through [Rotolo's] eyes, we see Dylan as a unique artist on his way to greatness." -- People "Artist Suze Rotolo pays rollicking homage to a revolutionary age." -- Vogue "Exhilarating . . . a moving account." -- New York Times "A perceptive, entertaining, and often touching book about a remarkable era in recent American cultural history, about a way of living, of making art, that couldn't have happened at any other time or in any other place." --Stephanie Zacharek, Salon "Telling her own story more than Dylan's, Rotolo writes with the lightest touch . . . She makes her own textures, so what is left out doesn't feel as if it's missing, and what is left in maps the territory she wants to bring into view." --Griel Marcus, Interview "Poignant . . . full of quick, deft sketches of key characters." -- Guardian "What a wonderful kid [Suze Rotolo] must have been--brave, openhearted, keenly observant and preternaturally wise, able to rise to the challenge of loving a genius like Bob Dylan and knowing when to let go. I'm glad I finally got to meet her in these pages." --Joyce Johnson, author of Minor Characters "Suze Rotolo digs hard and deep.

Synopsis
NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A "perceptive, entertaining, and often touching" ( Salon ) memoir of one woman's love affair with an up-and-coming Bob Dylan, and an intimate reflection of 1960s subculture at its most creative "[A] rollicking homage to a revolutionary age."-- Vogue "Through [Rotolo's] eyes, we see Dylan as a unique artist on his way to greatness."-- People A shy girl from Queens, Suze Rotolo was the daughter of Italian working-class Communists, growing up at the dawn of the Cold War. It was the age of McCarthy and Suze was an outsider in her neighborhood and at school. She found solace in poetry, art, and music--and in Greenwich Village, where she encountered like-minded and politically active friends. One hot July day in 1961, Suze met Bob Dylan, then a rising musician, at a concert at Riverside Church. She was seventeen, he was twenty; they were both vibrant, curious, and inseparable. During the years they were together, Dylan transformed from an obscure folk singer into an uneasy spokesperson for a generation. A hopeful, intimate memoir of a vital movement at its most creative, A Freewheelin' Time captures the excitement of youth, the heartbreak of young love, and the struggles for a brighter future in a time when everything seemed possible., NATIONAL BESTSELLER * A "perceptive, entertaining, and often touching" ( Salon ) memoir of one woman's love affair with an up-and-coming Bob Dylan, and an intimate reflection of 1960s subculture at its most creative "[A] rollicking homage to a revolutionary age."-- Vogue "Through [Rotolo's] eyes, we see Dylan as a unique artist on his way to greatness."-- People A shy girl from Queens, Suze Rotolo was the daughter of Italian working-class Communists, growing up at the dawn of the Cold War.
