In 1966, Bob Dylan wrote a book called Tarantula, compiling lyrics, prose, and poetry from one of the most prolific eras of his career. After being widely bootlegged, the experimental (and occasionally indecipherable) book received its first official release in 1971. And now, nearly half-a-century later, it will be made available as an audiobook. The new edition, read by actor Will Patton, is out via Simon & Schuster on December 3.

Next month, Dylan releases the latest edition of his ongoing Bootleg Series: Travelin’ Thru, 1967 – 1969: The Bootleg Series Vol. 15, featuring previously unreleased recordings with Johnny Cash.
