THE WILD PARTY - ART SPIEGELMAN KARTONIERT (TB)

Spiegelman's drawings are like demonic woodcuts: every angle  line  and curve jumps out at you.
Stylishness and brutishness are in perfect accord. - The New York Times Art Spiegelman's
sinister and witty black-and-white drawings give charged new life to Joseph Moncure March's
Wild Party  a lost classic from 1928. The inventive and varied page designs offer perfect
counterpoint to the staccato tempo of this hard-boiled jazz-age tragedy told in syncopated
rhyming couplets. Here is a poem that can make even readers with no time for poetry stop dead
in their tracks. Once read  large shards of this story of one night of debauchery will become
permanently lodged in the brain. When The Wild Party was first published  Louis Untermeyer
declared: It is repulsive and fascinating  vicious and vivacious  uncompromising  unashamed . .
. and unremittingly powerful. It is an amazing tour de force.
