For Bob Dylan's biographer, 'A Complete Unknown' is a dream come true — even if it's mostly fiction

JL;DR SUMMARY The article delves into Elijah Wald's journey as an author whose book "Dylan Goes Electric!" inspired the new film "A Complete Unknown."

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
