Description
Tarantula is a collection of poems and prose written by Bob Dylan in 1966. The book captures the turbulence of the times and offers a unique insight into Dylan's creative evolution. The poems and prose reflect his preoccupations, showcasing a folk poet's humanity and compassion, combined with the playful surrealism of modern art. The book's publication was delayed due to Dylan's constant revisions and a motorcycle accident, which left him with undisclosed injuries. As a result, it became a cult phenomenon, with unauthorized copies circulating among the musical and literary communities. Now reissued, Tarantula will finally reach a wider audience. This collection of poems and prose is a testament to Dylan's artistic vision, reflecting his concerns with protest, verbal playfulness, and the legitimacy of chronicling everyday life and eccentricity.
