"The year 1965-66 was one of the most intensely creative periods of Bob Dylan's career.  This was when he produced such crucial songs as Mr Tambourine Man, Like a Rolling Stone, Desolation Row, She Belongs to Me, Love Minus Zero No Limit, and the Ballad of a Thin Man.
It was also the time in which he wrote Tarantula, his first and (so far) only novel.
'Surrealism on speed', 'a fantastical journey through our life and times', a beautiful, flowing, stormy prose poem', 'a carnival of vitality and vision' - Tarantula has been called all these.  But ultimately no description can hope to convey its unique imaginative quality.  It is Dylan's book.  It needs no other recommendation."
