No secrets to conceal

Director James Mangold’s eagerly awaited Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, is with us. Mangold talks to Big Issue about Dylan’s seismic impact on the world, and how Timothée Chalamet rose to the task of playing a musical icon like no other – in a film that introduces the voice of a generation to a brand new age group.

And although Bob Dylan may be A Complete Unknown to many, we take a look through our back pages to reveal another side of Dylan, revisiting what some of our interviewees – including Joan Baez, Robbie Robertson and Kris Kristofferson – have said about the great man

Also inside:

  • Russ Cook, known as Hardest Geezer, made history after being the first person to run the full length of Africa. He’s not slowed down since
  • MP Roz Savage says her Climate and Nature Bill can be a gamechanger for our planet
  • For those affected by the recent biblical weather, Flood Mary is on hand to offer crucial advice
  • Fame came quite late for Franz Ferdinand’s Alex Kapranos, as did the joys of fatherhood
  • Chloe Kelly’s winner for England at Euro 2022 changed her life. She’s getting ready to do it again
  • How a social media obsession with sleeping can leave you wide awake
