About this product
Product Information
"Mr. Fish's chameleon-like versatility makes him the Ween of cartooning. He and his band of accomplices jolt you from one literary world to the next, each illustration like a little puzzle testing your cultural literacy. A short-attention-span joyride." -- Jen Sorensen , Herblock Prize-winning cartoonist, the Nib, Daily Kos , and the Nation "Words fail me when I try to explain why Long Story Short is so brilliant, which I guess is the whole point of the book Why talk over Beethoven (he wouldn't be able to hear you, anyway) or yammer on about poetry when a mute sunset can do it better? Here is art from an incredibly diverse group of cartoonists, painters, and illustrators that speaks for itself on literature's most novel ideas--now shut up and listen " -- Bob Mankoff , former cartoon editor of the New Yorker "Mr. Fish's ingenious collection of cartoon distillations of famous books shows why print editors so fear the art form. These succinct drawings by Fish and his artist collaborators really ARE worth a thousand words, and in Tolstoy's case, many more " -- Signe Wilkinson , Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist, Philadelphia Inquirer and the Daily News The Catcher in the Rye. Lolita. Moby-Dick. Infinite Jest. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. A Room of One's Own. Native Son . These are but a handful of classic works spectacularly distilled into single pages by Mr. Fish and his talented Friends. By boiling down the big pictures of well-known works of both fiction and nonfiction, the contributing cartoonists, have, with Long Story Short , literally made long stories short by abridging their essence and encapsulating their meaning into succinct snapshots that are at times funny, sad, inspiring, rude, crude, beautiful, profound, stomach-turning, and mind-blowing. Includes original artwork from: Mr. Fish, Ted Rall, Stephanie McMillan, Sarah Awad, Eli Valley, Wes Tyrell, Tamara Knoss, Keith Henry Brown, Sam Henderson, Lodi Marasescu, Surag Ramachandran, Tami Knight, Eric J. Garcia, Marissa Dougherty, Siri Dokken, John G., Andy Singer, Tara Seibel, Gary Dumm, Clare Kolat, Nate Ulsh, Benjamin Slyngstad, Ron Hill, JP Trostle, John Kovaleski, and Beth McCaskey.

Words fail me when I try to explain why Long Story Short is so brilliant, which I guess is the whole point of the book! Why talk over Beethoven (he wouldn't be able to hear you, anyway) or yammer on about poetry when a mute sunset can do it better? Here is art from an incredibly diverse group of cartoonists, painters, and illustrators that speaks for itself on literature's most novel ideas--now shut up and listen!, One of the most fascinating books I have had the pleasure to 'flip through' in the past decade or more!, Critical Praise for Mr. Fish's Go Fish: How to Win Contempt and Influence People : "Mr. Fish dissects the journalistic responsibility he faces as a cartoonist to make it make sense. It being his raw emotional output in response to a given stimuli (government, society, et al.) manifesting itself via pen on paper without regard to the cleverly pointed punchline that will accompany and ultimately define it...The drawings are a celebration of the technical mastery and unbridled emotional truth of Dwayne Booth--the Clark Kent to Superman's Mr. Fish." -- Huffington Post "Fish's work...makes you want to do something--even if you're not entirely sure what that something is--to change things for the better, and the feeling stays with you long after the book is closed." -- Verbicide Magazine "I thought I was getting a picture book of politically incorrect satirical cartoons to review. What I got was an evening of wonderment, thought, confusion, discovery, and a deep appreciation of a really deeply disturbed and brilliant journalist, cartoonist, and satirist." -- New York Journal of Books "Mr. Fish is one of the few brilliant souls who describes and illustrates the earth's insanity and all of the hypocrisy and still somehow doesn't detract from my need to masturbate constantly." -- Richard Lewis , Comedian/Actor "Behold the cartoons in Go Fish : there is no more savage yet brilliant wit than that possessed by Mr. Fish, who will never compromise on his deep artistic insight or the outrageous honesty of his social commentary. In a sellout culture he is that rare witness for unfettered truth." -- Robert Sheer , author of The Great American Stickup "Mr. Fish's penis obsession has evolved into unique visual metaphorical truths that probe the very core of politics, culture, religion--pick a target, any target--yes, he has indeed learned to think outside the cocks." -- Paul Krassner , author of Confessions of a Raving, Unconfined Nut: Misadventures in the Counter-Culture "[Mr. Fish is] the first person in the media I've talked to, in the forty years I've been in public life, who put his finger on really what [are] deep philosophical questions." -- Dennis Kucinich "You [Mr. Fish] get the gold medal for asking me things that nobody's ever asked me before." -- Joan Baez "Few individuals are as clued in to the volatility of the current political climate as iconic cartoonist Dwayne Booth (aka Mr. Fish)...known for pointed and piquant single-panel cartoons that fearlessly and relentlessly take on the most sacred of cows in public life." -- LA Weekly "A vibrant example of political cartooning as it is practiced at its heights...Anyone who thinks political cartooning is stale need only take a closer look at this body of work...Certifiably brilliant...The photographic elegance and immediacy with which this drawing is executed is typical of the most refined Mr. Fish style." -- Los Angeles Review of Books "Raw, severe, raging, and twistedly funny, Go Fish is a one-of-a-kind compilation meant to provoke thought as well as entertain...motivating readers to stop being complacent, open their eyes to injustice, and actually do something about it." -- Midwest Book Review "Nobody does what Mr. Fish does, and even if they did, they wouldn't do it as well as Mr. Fish does. Go Fish is that rarest of creatures; an essential collection of political cartoons." -- David Rees , author of Get Your War On, Mr. Fish's ingenious collection of cartoon distillations of famous books shows why print editors so fear the art form. These succinct drawings by Fish and his artist collaborators really ARE worth a thousand words, and in Tolstoy's case, many more!, Mr. Fish's chameleon-like versatility makes him the Ween of cartooning. He and his band of accomplices jolt you from one literary world to the next, each illustration like a little puzzle testing your cultural literacy. A short-attention-span joyride., The artists' ability to communicate with a picture and just a few words conveys the power and directness of the best cartoons.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
