Hmmmmm- "unimpressed by Dylan as a writer"- you have to wonder what actually does impress some people. Yes, I'm missing Fielding, as he would have lots of insights here. I've been reading these posts with such pleasure, I forget who asked about a biography for Pete, but I have just finished a book that is very close- "Lonesome Traveler- the Life of Lee Hays", by Doris Willens. Fabulous- with lots of wonderful tales about those "earlier days", and Lee's life that constantly intertwined with Pete's life.
