‘Boy From The North Country’ Sam Sussman in Conversation with Cantor Dan Singer at Stephen Wise Free Synagogue

Join author Sam Sussman and Cantor Dan Singer as they sit down to reflect on Sussman's novel — and the unexpected ways Bob Dylan connects their stories.

At the heart of the novel "Boy from the North Country," Sussman — a “boy from the North Country” of New York — tells the deeply moving story of his relationship with his mother, who died of cancer, and the surprising connection to Bob Dylan that emerges from her past.

Cantor Singer — from Dylan’s “North Country” of Duluth-Superior —will bring his own perspective, having discovered his own family connection to Dylan through his father, who also died from cancer.

In a novel twist on the typical interview format, Cantor Singer will play Dylan’s lyrics and musical excerpts on his guitar as a means to ask Sussman questions.
