Hollywood Foto-Rhetoric: The Lost Manuscript

Synopsis

Bob Dylan's rediscovered prose poems, inspired by Barry Feinstein's Hollywood photos, is a never-before-published work by an American legend.

The New York Times - Charles McGrath

Either half of this collaboration would be worth having, but combined, under the quizzical title Hollywood Foto-Rhetoric, they add up to one of the oddest coffee-table books to come along in a while…[Cohn] took these pictures backstage on movie sets or driving around town after hours. They're suffused with a kind of anti-glamour that was probably meant to be tough and unflinching at the time but now seems almost tender…What Dylan brings to this vision is a kind of antic surrealism, at times reminiscent of the liner notes he wrote for Highway 61 Revisited.
