《纽约客漫画百科全书》这部鸿篇巨著收录了《纽约客》杂志从1924年到现在刊登的所有漫画。全书共1600页,分为两卷,装在书套中。Bob Mankoff——担任《纽约客》的漫画编辑长达20年——将约3000幅漫画按照在《纽约客》中经常出现的主题和形象——包括关于香蕉皮的漫画、遇见圣.彼得、被困在荒岛上、雪人、驯狮者、亚当与夏娃、死神——当然,还有狗分成了250多个类别。于是才有了这本令人捧腹的漫画专著,Mankoff在全书的评论更是增添了深度和奇思妙想。这本漫画集还包括《纽约客》编辑David Remnick撰写的前言。对于几百万的《纽约客》读者和试图在社会评论的演变中寻找一些幽默的人而言,本书绝对是一份最适合不过的礼物。
The New Yorker Encyclopedia of Cartoons is a prodigious, slip-cased, two-volume, 1,600-page A-to-Z curation of cartoons from the magazine from 1924 to the present. Bob Mankoff – for two decades the cartoon editor of the New Yorker – organizes nearly 3,000 cartoons into more than 250 categories of recurring New Yorker themes and visual tropes, including cartoons on banana peels, meeting St. Peter, being stranded on a desert island, snowmen, lion tamers, Adam and Eve, the Grim Reaper – and dogs, of course. The result is hilarious and Mankoff’s commentary throughout adds both depth and whimsy. The collection also includes a foreword by New Yorker editor David Remnick. This is stunning gift for the millions of New Yorker readers and anyone looking for some humour in the evolution of social commentary.
