Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Edited by Art Spiegelman, author of the Pulitzer Prizewinning graphic novel MausA wordless novel in woodcuts from Lynd Ward, a pioneering artist/novelist who was an unmistakable soulcompanion to . . . Frank Capra and John Steinbeck, but also Fritz Lang and Franz Kafka (Jonathan Lethem)From the Great Depression to WII, Americas first great graphic novelist bore witness to the roiling, dizzying national scene as both a master printmaker and a socially committed storyteller.In this, the first of two volumes collecting all his woodcut novels, The Library of America brings together Lynd Wards earliest books, published when the artist was still in his twenties. Gods Man (1929), the audaciously ambitious work that made Wards reputation, is a modern morality play, an allegory of the deadly bargain a striving young artist often makes with life. Madmans Drum (1930), a multigenerational saga worthy of Faulkner, traces the legacy of violence haunting a family whose stock in trade is human souls. Wild Pilgrimage (1932), perhaps the most accomplished of these early books, is a study in the brutalization of an American factory worker whose heart can still respond to beauty but whose mind is twisted in rage against the system and its shackles.The images reproduced in this volume are taken from prints pulled from the original woodblocks or firstgeneration electrotypes. Wards novels are presented, for the first time since the 1930s, in the format that the artist intended, one image per righthand page, and are followed by five essays in which he discusses the technical challenges of his craft. Art Spiegelman contributes an introductory essay, Reading Pictures, that defines Wards towering achievement in that most demanding of graphicstory forms.
