Bradley's review
Positively 4th Street: The Lives and Times of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Mimi Baez Farina and Richard Farina by David Hajdu
Great braided tale about a pair of sisters and a pair of rakes on the make. Literate and highly entertaining, Hajdu's evocative book sheds light on a great story in Americana. The amateur Dylanologist in me really loved this one. Like all the other luminaries written about here, Hajdu portrays Thomas Pynchon (The Great Recluse was a Cornell classmate of Farinia's and the best man at his wedding to Mimi Baez.) a flesh-and-blood man, rather than a myth, which is no small feat.
