Review
Praise for Chronicles Volume 1:
‘Takes its place next to “On The Road “...as an essential record of an American artist’s manifest destiny.’ Observer
'Like discovering the lost diaries of Shakespeare... Maybe the most extraordinarily intimate autobiography by a 20th-century legend.' Daily Telegraph
'There are enough bizarre and entertaining snippets of information sprinkled throughout to fascinate the most jaded Dylan obsessive.' Independent
'Entertaining and surprisingly deprecating...“Chronicles Volume ” is tautly written, vividly cinematic, and funny'. Financial Times

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Tarantula By Bob Dylan. Publisher: MacGibbon & Kee, 1971. FIRST EDITION, first printing. Good hardback with jacket. A little bumping to edges, rubbing and marks. Inscription to ffep dated 1971, foxing (mainly to edges), minor marks. Jacket is chipped and stained at edges, with foxing, tears and some small loss. Written in 1966 (but not published until 1971), 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 was written during work on his magnum opus, Blonde on Blonde. 'the good samaritan coming in with the words "round & round we go" tattooed on his cheek he tells the senator to stop insulting the lawyer' Written in 1966, Tarantula captures Bob Dylan's preoccupations at a crucial juncture in his artistic development, showcasing the antic 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 we find 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 never made its publication date in Autumn 1966. To the delays added by Dylan's constant revisions was added the greater complication of his motorcyle accident - which left him with still undisclosed injuries and kept the book from publication until 1971. In the interim, it became a cult phenomenon, with 'bootleg' editions photocopied from reviewer proofs circulating throughout the musical and literary demi-mondes. 137 pages.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. FIRST UK EDITION, THIRD IMPRESSION. Hardcover with dust jacket, octavo (20.5 x 13.5 x 2 cm), pp. 137. Publisher's original covers, gilt titles to spine, supplied with original unclipped dust jacket. Condition: VERY GOOD. Binding tight and secure, the edges and points sharp. Covers and contents very well-preserved. Dust jacket neatly price-clipped and slightly darkened to the spine. Without previous ownership markings. Notes: The first and only novel published by Bob Dylan, Tarantula is an experimental, stream-of-consciousness book of prose poetry. Heavily influenced by Beat writers such as Kerouac, Burroughs and Ginsberg, and similar in style to the liner notes which Dylan wrote for his albums of around the same time (such as Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited). Although written in 1966, Dylan's motorcycle accident in that year postponed publication, and it was not properly published (other than in bootleg form) until 1971, by MacMillan in the States and (the copy for sale here) MacGibbon & Kee in UK (this being the third printing of the UK edition). The dust jacket design by Michael Jarvis and headshot of Dylan (reproduced on front & rear panels) by photographer and filmmaker Jerry Schatzberg (who also shot the cover photo for Blonde on Blonde).
