WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE

Music 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.

About Bob Dylan

Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016, Bob Dylan is a musician and songwriter. The prize came “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.” He was born Robert Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota. He skipped the December ceremony, accepted the medal privately in Stockholm, and delivered the lecture required of laureates as an audio recording in June 2017. Tarantula, an experimental prose work written in 1966, first appeared in 1971; The Lyrics: 1961–2020, which collects his songs with his own revisions, and the abridged 100 Songs both come from Simon & Schuster. He received a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation in 2008 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012, and wrote the memoir Chronicles: Volume One.
