A Modern-Day Detective Story
By Steven J. Rosen (Satyaraja Dasa)
“Dylan never claimed to have answers. His contribution was an honest distillation of life’s questions. And that was quite a lot. It took someone of his unique linguistic and musical skill to synthesize what many of us, beginning in the Sixties, were feeling but could not articulate for ourselves. From the deluge of Dylanography to have emerged in the past half century, it seems clear that he was reluctant to tie himself to any one lens of observation. He embraced contrasting and often contradictory per-spectives. Author Steven J. Rosen has added to our appreciation of Dylan’s ecumenism by tracing his journey into the world of Krishna devotion, while avoiding the temptation to make of it anything more than what it was: one more instance of Dylan’s curiosity over how we humans strive to make sense of ourselves and the world around us. It is an engaging account that adds considerably to our collective portrait of the Bard.”
