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.
美国歌手鲍勃-迪伦获得2016年诺贝尔文学奖,表彰其”在伟大的美国歌曲传统中创造了新的诗歌表达“。
鲍勃迪伦1941年5月24日出生于美国明尼苏达州,原名罗伯特·艾伦·齐默曼(Robert Allen Zimmerman),是一位美国唱作人、艺术家和作家。从1961年发布首张专辑至今,迪伦在流行音乐界和文化界起到的影响已超过50年。他的大多数作品都来自1960年代的反抗民谣,也被广泛认为是当时美国新兴的反叛文化的代言人,尽管他否认了这一点。他的部分早期作品成为了当时美国民权反战运动的圣歌,例如《答案在风中飘》(Blowing' in the Wind)和《时代在变》(The Times They Are a-Changing)。1960年代中期迪伦开始从原先的抗议民谣风格转型,并在1965年发行单曲《像一块滚石》(Like a Rolling Stone),也从此改变了流行音乐的传统分类。在一些摇滚音乐人的帮助下,迪伦60年代中期的一些作品登上了《告示牌》榜单,但同时也受到了来自民权运动者的指责和批评。
