Yet more new Dylan work set for release this autumn

The flow of new Dylan product shows no sign of abating just yet.

Hot on the heels of next month’s new album, Tell Tale Signs, and new children’s book, Forever Young, comes news of yet more previously unpublished Dylan work.

Hollywood Foto-Rhetoric: The Lost Manuscript, by Dylan & photographer Barry Feinstein (due from Simon & Schuster on 17 November, hardback, 160 pages) has two dozen of Dylan’s “prose poems” - written at the request of Feinstein, to accompany his mid-‘60s photos documenting Hollywood’s downside.

Barry Feinstein also photographed Dylan many times, of course - his best-known piece is the cover of The Times They Are A-Changin’, and he recently published his Dylan portfolio as Real Moments, a large format photobook.
