Tarantula
Tarantula | Bob Dylan
4 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
Music legend Bob Dylan's only work of fictiona 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.

What did you think of Dylan winning the Nobel Prize in Literature last year? As a major fan, I was all about it, but I understand the pushback. Where do you land? #chaos #quotsynov17 #bobdylan
