A son returns to his dying mother and uncovers the astonishing truths of her life, her wisdom, and her creatively intense, turbulent romance with Bob Dylan – an artist he reveres and whom strangers claim he resembles. Boy from The North Country, Sam Sussman’s acclaimed autofictional debut (“A remarkable novel” – Tony Kushner), draws on his Harper’s Magazine memoir The Silent Type: On (Possibly) Being Bob Dylan’s Son. He joins Alice Sherwood to discuss family, identity, and memory.
