Outside of my family, nothing held any real interest for me and I was seeing everything through different glasses. Even the horrifying news items of the day, the gunning down of the Kennedys, King, Malcolm X ... I smell a ghost writer in those clichés (and there are many more of them there.) Disappointing...
Suggest you check your olfactory. I read it all. I know Dylan. Dylan wrote it.
Wouldn't surprise or disappoint me if he did have a ghost writer. As he explains -- he thinks, as many poets do, in symbols and metaphores. And, as he says in the article, it was difficult but important that he write this book with a limited interpretation of its contents. It is important to him to be very clear about what he is saying in the book.
