Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

This incisive examination of Capp's life and career is back in print at last. From the author of The Strange Case of Edward Gorey comes a powerful portrait of a controversial giant in the comics world: the creator of the classic strip Li'l Abner, merchandising genius and outspoken extremist - from his early cartooning days ghosting for the creator of |Joe Palooka|, to his fame at the top of the field and his later years attacking John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Theroux comments, |Satire was his gift, and its ancillary weapons burlesque and parody|.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

by Alexander Theroux
Acclaimed writer Alexander Theroux (the former Harvard, Yale, and MIT professor best recognized for his novel Darconville's Cat and last year's The Primary Colors, which John Updike called "a unique gem"), delves into the well-known, yet often glossed over, dark side of one of our most celebrated funnymen, Al Capp, creator of Li'l Abner.

Description du livre Softcover. Etat : New. The creator of Li'l Abner goes under the microscope in this handsome monograph.The National Book Award-nominated author of Darconville's Cat and Three Wogs delivers this slender-yet-rich monograph on the controversial life of cartoonist Al Capp, creator of Li'l Abner. "The left eventually broke his heart," wrote John Updike of Capp. A genuine American mythmaker and celebrated funnyman, Capp used his strip for years to expose greed, corruption and social injustice, while bringing belly laughs and dramatic suspense to the lives of millions of people every day.Theroux, however, dives head-first into the often glossed-over side of Capp, delivering a keen (but not without compassion) analysis of Capp's degeneration into a bitter, disillusioned, conservative extremist, who began using his strip in later years to attack the very causes he once championed. This is a rich and compelling investigation into the psyche of a paradoxical American icon, who at the height of his fame was one of America's highest-paid and most well-known entertainers, gracing the cover of Time and other magazines, and franchising Li'l Abner into film, theater, radio, merchandising and more. Illustrated throughout with examples of Capp's cartoons. N� de r�f. du vendeur DADAX1560973404
