She was Bob Dylan’s first manager. She married the folk singer who was in the inspiration for “Inside Llewyn Davis.” And she was witness to and participated in shakeups that rattled society’s foundations.

In the late 1950s and early 60s, Greenwich Village was the epicenter of a folk music revival amid a surge in political activism.

And Terri Thal was in the middle of all of it.

Here’s a peek at her new memoir, in online (subscription-only) and PDF formats:
