Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

78pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "The penultimate teen issue of the ACME Novelty Library appears this autumn with a new chapter from the electrifying experimental narrative 'Rusty Brown,' which examines the life, work, and teaching techniques of one of its central real-life protagonists, W. K. Brown. A previously marginal figure in the world of speculative fiction, Brown's widely anthologized first story, "The Seeing Eye Dogs of Mars," garnered him instant acclaim and the coveted White Dwarf Award for Best New Writer when it first appeared in the pages of Nebulous in the late 1950s, but his star was quickly eclipsed by the rise of such talents as Anton Jones, J. Sterling Imbroglio, and others of the so-called psychovisionary movement. (Modern scholarship concedes, however, that they now owe a not inconsequential aesthetic debt to Brown.) New surprises and discoveries concerning the now legendarily reclusive and increasingly influential writer mark this nineteenth number of the ACME Novelty Library, itself a regular award-winning periodical, lauded for its clear lettering and agreeable coloring, which, as any cultured reader knows, are cornerstones of any genuinely serious literary effort. Full color, seventy-eight pages, with hardbound covers, full indicia, and glue, the ACME Novelty Library offers its readers a satisfying, if not thrilling, rocket ride into the world of unkempt imagination and pulse-pounding excitement." [publisher copy] "Ware's work is both emotional and illustrative, but in quite a conceptual way, proceeding in tense oppositions. He tries to make the drawing "very flat and dead and mechanical, almost like a pictorial language," but the colours are both lush and immensely subtle, perfectly calibrated to mood. "I want the pages to be as beautiful as I can possibly make them. I want that to contradict the stories and the frustrations of the characters;" every day he wrestles his "staccato, jerky, jazzy medium, better suited to telling snappy jokes" into a way of "telling something much more slowly and blurrily, the way real life tends to evolve." The overriding feeling in his work is what David Thomson has called an 'astringent melancholia.'"--The Guardian. [Number Nineteen's cover boards feature a scathing satire of American political operations, say no more.] Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, no jacket as issued.…
