Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)With the photos by Barry Feinstein and the poems by Bob Dylan laid away to age like wine, now is a fine time to crack open this book with a foreward by Luc Sante and an introduction by Billy Collins, of all people.
The photos are sometimes raw, sometimes dark, sometimes light, always a delight, and Dylan's poems are, as Billy Collins says in the introduction (that you might almost miss; Collins and Sante don't get a mention anywhere) "marked by unexpected bursts of surrealism, lines that seem pulled out of a hat or caught falling from the sky rather than simply written down."
Hollywood Foto-Rhetoric is a coffee table book that you will actually want to sit down with and savor, one you will actually want to read.

Surfacing for the first time after more than forty years, Hollywood Foto-Rhetoric is a remarkable, long-lost manuscript written by Bob Dylan in the 1960s, inspired by renowned photographer Barry Feinstein's portraits of Tinseltown. These twenty-three prose poems are thoughtprovoking, witty, and thoroughly unexpected observations of a bygone era, and through the lens of Feinstein's camera they speak volumes about the faces and places that have graced the City of Angels. Images like those of Judy Garland, Marlene Dietrich, and Steve McQueen resonate with our collective memory, while photographs of hopeful starlets, movie studio backlots, and sunny, palm tree'd boulevards evoke the timeless allure of all things Hollywood.Hollywood Foto-Rhetoric marks a unique collaboration: With his unerring eye, Barry Feinstein captured unforgettable moments in stunning black-and-white, such as Marilyn Monroe's swimming pool on the day she died, and Frank Sinatra celebrating at John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Ball. In the provocative accompanying text, Bob Dylan's quixotic, expressive lyricism redefines silver screen nostalgia.
