eoeWhat Kinney uncovers in documenting this event is the deep cultural underbelly of a fishing society that few people on the outside will understand.e, The Big One is a rollicking true story of a grand American obsession. You don't have to be a fisherman to relish David Kinney's marvelous account of the annual striper madness on Martha's Vineyard, or his unforgettable portraits of the possessed. It's a fine piece of journalism, rich with color and suspense., A rollicking account of the annual striped bass and bluefish derby on Martha's Vineyard, spiked with the you-are-there view of the beauty, folly, and humanity of the participants. Kinney follows some of the most intriguing personalities, does a bit of fishing, and documents the at-times tricky relationship between the blue-collar derby participants and the well-to-do seasonal residents of the island., eoeWe have come to the metafictional stage of Dylan historiographye"books not so much about the man as about his fans, his sources, his very relics. Kinneye(tm)s is fascinating, from his portrait of a pharmacist who has schemed to purchase not only Dylane(tm)s childhood home but his high chair, to fans who somehow appear in the first row at every show. These are spooky sketches of a fringe culture in the twenty-first century, a world that could only exist because of Bob Dylan.e, Praise for The Big One: An Island, an Obsession, and the Furious Pursuit of a Great Fish "Mr. Kinney ... takes up his story with an enthusiasm that more closely resembles that of an embedded war correspondent.", The Dylanologists is about people who care deeply about Bob Dylan--some obsessively, following him, studying him, as a central and powerful touchstone of meaning and guidance in their lives. Their fixations might seem quaint, even absurd, but David Kinney allows these people their genuine and hard-earned profundity. As we learn about their lives and thoughts, we also learn about Dylan's, with insights that are compassionate, good-humored, troubling and revelatory, and that feel humane and accurate. This is a valuable and original contribution to the essential literature about a valuable and original artist. It's also an absolutely pleasurable read., Praise for The Big One: An Island, an Obsession, and the Furious Pursuit of a Great Fish eoeMr. Kinney e takes up his story with an enthusiasm that more closely resembles that of an embedded war correspondent.e, eoeCatching a fish off a Vineyard beach at Derby-time is about as much fun as you can have with waders on, and in The Big One David Kinney nails the chase and captures the thrill.

David Kinney's The Dylanologists is the best book about music that has nothing to do with music. By holding a mirror up to the obsessives, the completists, the weirdos and the garbologists (those who literally go through Dylan's bins looking for clues), Kinney provides the final word on the tragi-comedy of intense, unrelenting fandom . . .

[ The Big One ] is a lot of fun as Kinney's day-in, day-out descriptions of the tournament itself-complete with accusations of cheating, bitter rivalries, health concerns and Cinderella stories-play out like a frenzied baseball season condensed into one month of triple-headers., [A] must-read book . . . While there are countless books about Bob Dylan's life and music, Kinney approaches Dylan from a different angle-the followers, scholars and kooks., The Dylanologists is about people who care deeply about Bob Dylan-some obsessively, following him, studying him, as a central and powerful touchstone of meaning and guidance in their lives.

Kinney's tale of the peculiarly symbiotic triangle between Dylan obsessives, his music, and the inscrutable man himself poses some interesting conundrums. In one sense, the people who follow Their Bob around on tour, scrounge his unreleased studio recordings or buy the manger he was born in are like refugees from a Coen brothers reality show: 'Inside the Hoarders of Highway 61.'

In chronicling Bob Dylan's fans, David Kinney provides a clear-eyed portrait of the artist and the country that created him., In this lively book, Kinney combines a first-person account of a single derby with a history of the tournament itself (and it's distinctly checkered history, with allegations of corruption and conspiracy, not to mention a few notable fatalities). . . . Fans of you-are-there accounts of sporting competitions will definitely want to read this one., Entertaining and well-written . . . The Dylanologists is as much a book about obsession-about the ways our fascinations manifest themselves, about how we cope with what we love but don't quite understand-as it is a book about a musician and his nutty fans., The Martha's Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefist Derby is more than just your run-of-the-mill fishing tournament. . . .[ The Big One ]is a lot of fun as Kinney's day-in, day-out descriptions of the tournament itself--complete with accusations of cheating, bitter rivalries, health concerns and Cinderella stories--play out like a frenzied baseball season condensed into one month of triple-headers., The book, a compelling study of Dylan's most fervent and studious fans, is always lively and sometimes funny, but Kinney never finds humor at the expense of the obsessives he profiles. By presenting sympathetic, respectful portraits of people who were inspired by Dylan to write, read, travel, archive, and rethink their lives, Kinney gives us a new way to think about one of the most thought about men of the twentieth century. . . . What's more exciting is the way The Dylanologists shifts the perspective of a well-known history: Kinney recounts an important artist's excursions into electric guitar, Christianity and even Christmas carols not for the purpose of examining what these periods mean to Dylan's life or artistry, but what they mean for the lives and artistry of the people who experienced them. By celebrating these merits-be they the ingenuity to cull incredible collections or the wherewithal to reinvent oneself-Kinney's subjects prove themselves more creative than kooky., eoeFish fan or not, you will find the narratives and characters in The Big One rich and intriguing and weird and wonderful.

Synopsis
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Kinney enters into the world of obsessive Bob Dylan followers: the "Dylanologists"., Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Kinney enters into the world of obsessive Bob Dylan followers (aka the "Dylanologists") to deliver an immersive work on the artist's singular impact on American culture. FAN: "You don't know who I am, but I know who you are." BOB DYLAN: "Let's keep it that way." Bob Dylan is the most influential songwriter of our time and, after a half century, he remains a cultural touchstone, an enigma, and the subject of endless fascination. From the moment he arrived on the music scene, he attracted an intensely fanatical cult following, and in The Dylanologists , Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Kinney ventures deep into this eccentric subculture to answer a question: What can Dylan's grip on his most enthusiastic listeners tell us about his towering place in American culture? Kinney introduces us to a vibrant underground: diggers searching for unheard tapes and lost manuscripts, researchers obsessing over the facts of Dylan's life and career, writers working to decode unyieldingly mysterious songs, road warriors who meticulously record and dissect every concert. It's an affectionate mania, but as far as Dylan is concerned, a mania nonetheless. Over the years, the intensely private and fiercely combative musician has been frightened, annoyed, and perplexed by fans who try to peel back his layers. He has made at least one thing crystal clear: He does not wish to be known. The story of Dylan's followers is also a revealing portrait of the artist himself. Here, reflected in the fans he inspired and the cultural movements he helped create, is every twist and turn in a career that has swerved from lefty activist to ultra-hip spokesman for a generation to woodsy recluse, from secular storyteller to fire-breathing Christian evangelist, from punch line to elder statesman. Dylan may refuse to explain himself to his followers, but their lives have become mirrors of his, so profoundly are their stories intertwined. Told with tremendous insight, intelligence, and warmth, by turns funny and affecting, The Dylanologists is ultimately a book about our universal quest for meaning. It is populated by characters both legendary and obscure, from aging hippies to idealistic twentysomethings and everyone in between--a young woman who, stirred by Dylan, attends law school and becomes a public defender; a man who crams his New York City apartment with memorabilia, transforming it into a pilgrimage spot for Dylan fanatics; a woman inspired by her hero's redemptive music to go clean after years of drug use. Here is a joyous, soulful, and poignant exploration of the origins and meaning of fandom, the healing power of art, and the importance of embracing what moves you, whatever that may be., Bob Dylan was the most influential songwriter of his time. Half a century later, he continues to be a touchstone, a fascination, and an enigma. From the very beginning, he attracted an intensely fanatical cult following, and in The Dylanologists, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Kinney ventures deep into this eccentric subculture to answer the question: What can Dylan's grip on his most enthusiastic listeners tell us about his towering place in American culture? In exuberant prose, Kinney introduces us to a vibrant underground: diggers searching for unheard tapes and lost manuscripts, researchers obsessing over the facts of Dylan's life and career, writers working to decode the unyieldingly mysterious songs, collectors snapping up prized artefacts for posterity, travellers caravanning from concert to concert. It's an affectionate mania, but as far as Dylan is concerned, a mania nonetheless. Over the years, he has been frightened, annoyed, and perplexed by fans who try to peel back his layers. Intensely private and fiercely combative, Dylan makes one thing plain: He does not wish to be known. Intelligent, entertaining, and insightful, The Dylanologists is a richly detailed work of narrative journalism in the tradition ofConfederates in the Atticand an absorbing story about the tension between zealous fans and their beloved idol.
