Relation During Books Tarantula
WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATUREMusic legend Bob Dylan's only work of fiction—a combination of stream of consciousness prose, lyrics, and poetry that gives fans insight into one of the most influential singer-songwriters of our time.
Written in 1966, Tarantula is a collection of poems and prose that evokes the turbulence of the times in which it was written, and gives a unique insight into Dylan's creative evolution. It captures Bob Dylan's preoccupations at a crucial juncture in his artistic development, showcasing the imagination of a folk poet laureate who was able to combine the humanity and compassion of his country roots with the playful surrealism of modern art. Angry, funny, and strange, the poems and prose in this collection reflect the concerns found in Dylan's most seminal music: a sense of protest, a verbal playfulness and spontaneity, and a belief in the artistic legitimacy of chronicling everyday life and eccentricity on the street.

Tarantula was a nostalgic trip through time and very interesting, it was really worth reading.
My obsession with Bob Dylan has probably tainted my vision of his poetry, but I find this volume delightful for summer days when I want an acid trip landscape in my head. It helps that I have an ancient, neon-colored copy.
Bob Dylan is all about the compounding of words. After I read this book, I headed to university. People have dry-erase boards on their doors for messages in rooming houses for students, probably in residences, too. Every night while everyone was out at the bars, I would write Tarantula-esque letters to people on their boards. It got to be a thing, and people really looked forward to their weird letters. Some others got so into it, they too started the trend. When I read this book, I couldn't
So Ian Bell, whose Dylan bio is fucking amazing, and who gives no quarter at all on bullshit, has convinced me to give this another chance, because he sees merit in it. No doubt, it's still a failure, but he makes the argument that it's not near as bad as its detractors make it out to be (and not near as good as Dylan wanted it to be). Any case, I only rifled it before dismissing it. Bobby, I give you the benefit of the doubt on all doubts, so I'll see you on this one again. I'll also take the
This book sucks, I think Bob wrote it on the toilet when he was on acid and then accidently sent it in to a publisher. They must have thought Bob Dylan = instant money on sales. Wrong. Love the man's music, this book sucks. This is coming from someone that owns 31 of his albums and loves his stuff too.
Got no idea of what it was ... but something beautiful for sure.
