{"product_id":"tarantula","title":"TARANTULA","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Formatted\"\u003eBob Dylan's only fictional book, Tarantula was written in 1966 during the creative peak that produced \u003ci\u003eBlonde on Blonde\u003c\/i\u003e. Reminiscent of Dylan's best songs, it is essential reading for anyone interested in his creative processes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInitial publication was repeatedly delayed, and Tarantula circulated for years only as a 'bookleg' photocopied from reviewers' advance proofs. Fittingly, perhaps, because this is a book that captures the tone and spirit of the turbulent times in which it was written.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe alternating poems and prose in Tarantula also echo the artistic concerns we find in Dylan's contemporary songs: a sense of protest, a verbal playfulness and spontaneity, and a belief in the legitimacy of the street -- with all its colourful life -- as a subject.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Readers Paradise Book Shop Wexford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49411521675611,"sku":"","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0538\/7105\/0923\/files\/17_97ef3414-d1f7-434a-815b-518072067de1.jpg?v=1730892172","url":"https:\/\/readersparadise.pro\/products\/tarantula","provider":"ReadersParadise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
