Suze Rotolo
Suze Rotolo chronicles her coming of age in Greenwich Village during the 1960s and the early days of the folk music explosion, when Bob Dylan was finding his voice and she was his muse.
A shy girl from Queens, Suze 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 17, he was 20; 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 Freewheelin' Time is a hopeful, intimate memoir of a vital movement at its most creative. It captures the excitement of youth, the heartbreak of young love, and the struggles for a brighter future in a time when everything seemed possible.

Suze Rotolo gives a great insight in her life and the times of the sixties. From her parents and her childhood over to moving back to Europe at the end of the era she covers a wide array of topics and times, often bouncing a bit from place to place so it can be hard at times to follow when she digresses over a certain subject or goes back in time to draw in certain moments or introduces certain people to the listener. It was great to get her background and her perspective on her relationship with Bob Dylan and how everything started and eventually ended without focusing all too much on him even though his presence is given more than enough space in the book I felt pleasingly surprised to hear not just another new anecdotes about the man in question but also her stories and how she made her own way through this decade of change.
A great audiobook of a good book
