One hot July day in 1961, Suze met Bob Dylan, then a rising musician, at a concert at Riverside Church. She found solace in poetry, art, and music and in Greenwich Village, where she encountered like-minded and politically active friends.
It was the age of McCarthy and Suze was an outsider in her neighborhood and at school.
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.Ī shy girl from Queens, Suze was the daughter of Italian working-class Communists, growing up at the dawn of the Cold War. The girl with Bob Dylan on the cover of Freewheelin broke a forty-five-year silence with this affectionate and dignified recalling of a relationship doomed by Dylan s growing fame.
