Beyond that, the book defies description. Dylan's decades-long lyrical odyssey through heart and mind is a journey so rich and varied, so reflective and honest that a ready encapsulation is impossible.

Alex's exploits create a mid-summer night's dream love tangle, where everyone falls in love with their personality opposite. Though Moreaux played the part to the hilt, his delivery, in contrast to Zeidenberg's, put more strain...
