Synopsis
The 1950s and '60s bohemian center of the world in Greenwich Village is expertly conjured in David Hajdu's remarkable POSITIVELY 4TH STREET, a combination of social history and sideways biography. Hajdu features a cast of characters that forms the foundations of much of the '60s folk boom: Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and her sister Mimi, Richard Farina, Thomas Pynchon, Dave Van Ronk, and a host of other stellar music and literary figures crowd onto the pages of the author's evocation of the intensely creative, pathologically jealous, and romantically incestuous artistic melting pot that formed around Washington Square in New York's West Village. Hajdu traces the interweaving stories of the Baez sisters, Dylan, and Farina, skillfully mingling their personal stories with the massive cultural shifts about to take place in the country, and reveals the complex web of relationships between the scene's major and minor players. An essential book for anyone with even a passing interest in Dylan and Baez's origins, and a useful accompaniment to Dylan's excellent memoir, CHRONICLES PART 1, POSITIVELY 4TH STREET crackles with the creativity and passion of the times.

Industry Reviews
"Hajdu has done honor to both the scruffy, workingman's ethic of folk and its irresistible glamour."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Levy (06/08/2001)
