DYLAN EN WIJ ZONDER AMERIKA

   DYLAN EN WIJ ZONDER AMERIKA, (in English 'Dylan and us without America') is written for people who have inevitably heard of the American poet-pop star, but have never delved into his work and now want to know 'what it is about Dylan'. Wouter van Oorschot turned it into a story that is as personal as it is compelling, in which he does not spare his hero and does not shy away from outspoken opinions. The music industry during the 1950s, against the background of which Dylan himself grew up, is mercilessly criticized with a judgment such as 'misogynistic scum'. Core of his argument: Dylan's work is not necessarily American, he has broken away from his native country.
