Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Many know Jonathan Lethem as one of our most celebrated and eclectic writers, whose iconic novels-Motherless Brooklyn, The Fortress of Solitude, Chronic City, among many others-play with genres and storytelling modes like a DJ mixing music. But Lethem grew up in his father's studio, went to art school, and, in his own words, 'made hundreds if not thousands of drawings, collages, paintings, hand-drawn comics, and even two animated shorts' before diverting, at nineteen, to prose. The surreal and form-defying panoply of his stories, essays, and novels celebrates-and mourns-this forsaken world of the visual and plastic arts.

Gorgeously designed, with stunning, full-color images from the author's own collection and elsewhere, Cellophane Bricks is a ravishing assemblage for story lovers of all kinds.…
