1 INTRODUCTION

After two years of extensive song writing the pace slows down. More and more of Dylan's interest in writing shifts away from song lyrics first to poems, then to prose. In a number of interviews he talks about a novel and also about several plays. None of these have however seen the light of day. One recording session in June results in his fourth and last solo album, Another Side Of Bob Dylan.
