Boy from the North Country is Sam Sussman's debut novel, an autofiction exploring the possibility that the narrator, Evan, is the illegitimate son of Bob Dylan, inspired by Sussman's own life and a Harper's essay he wrote. The story follows Evan as he returns home to care for his dying mother, June, who reveals details of her past affair with Dylan, forcing Evan to confront his identity and their intimate, complex relationship as she fades. The novel is praised for its lyrical prose and tender portrayal of a mother-son bond, set against the backdrop of a potential legendary paternity.
