Sam Sussman first wrote about the question in a Harper's essay on possibly being Bob Dylan's son, then turned it into Boy from the North Country, a USA Today bestseller and National Jewish Book Award finalist. The novel is really about a son and a dying mother finally telling the truth. If you love Dylan lore or tender family stories, catch Sussman at DUMBO's big bookstore.
