Dear Bob Dylan

by Lisa Zaran

Dear Bob Dylan is a collection of letters as a way for the author to express herself in a literary sense, as a scene where she could place her thoughts. By focusing on an enigma, Zaran was able to compose these thoughts in the most rudimentary sense, letter writing. Rather than begin a journal Zaran chose instead to write Bob Dylan letters.

Reviews

[David]

Love the concept of this book - a lyrical view of the world and the ups and downs of life. It's a book that can occupy 2 minutes of your time or 2 hours because of the diary-like letter writing - I liked that, it suits my reading style.

I'd recommend this book and will check out other work by this author.

Thank you Lisa for providing the giveaway to Goodreads.

I remember Lisa writing these letters for years, sharing many with me in our correspondence, publishing some here and there. They were damn good and I felt like it wouldn't be long before she'd have enough quality material to publish a book. Bam! Here it is! This is pretty original, creative and talented stuff, so please check it out. Recommended!
