The Woman Who Borrowed Memories: Selected Stories


Description

An NYRB Classics Original Tove Jansson was a master of brevity, unfolding worlds at a touch. Her art flourished in small settings, as can be seen in her bestselling novel "The Summer Book" and in her internationally celebrated cartoon strips and books about the Moomins. It is only natural, then, that throughout her life she turned again and again to the short story. "The Woman Who Borrowed Memories" is the first extensive selection of Jansson s stories to appear in English. Many of the stories collected here are pure Jansson, touching on island solitude and the dangerous pull of the artistic impulse: in The Squirrel the equanimity of the only inhabitant of a remote island is thrown by a visitor, in The Summer Child an unlovable boy is marooned along with his lively host family, in The Cartoonist an artist takes over a comic strip that has run for decades, and in The Doll s House a man s hobby threatens to overwhelm his life. Others explore unexpected territory: Shopping has a post-apocalyptic setting, The Locomotive centers on a railway-obsessed loner with murderous fantasies, and The Woman Who Borrowed Memories presents a case of disturbing transference. Unsentimental, yet always humane, Jansson s stories complement and enlarge our understanding of a singular figure in world literature."

For the first time, British artist and illustrator Jon Burgerman's commercial, personal and collaborative works are collected together in this lavish and fun publication. Burgerman's brightly colored parades of monster faces and abstract glyphs have found their way onto a huge range of merchandise--toys, clothing (for Ripcurl), snowboards, exhibitions, murals, customizations, sketchbooks, even a sick bag--as well as galleries around the world (he is especially popular in China and Japan, whose graphic arts traditions his work draws on). Burgerman's personal pantheon of like minds includes Phil Frost, Mr. Jago of the Scrawl Collective, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Barry McGee--all of whom make sense as inspirations, and none of whom quite Beatrix Potter: A Life in Nature download ebook pdf resemble his maniacal, over-the-top style. Accompanying the hundreds of pages of brain-melting doodles, drawings, characters and colors are essays by the Pictoplasma team and editors of "Modart "magazine, insights into Burgerman's working process and, of course, photos of salads. The included DVD is packed with animated goodies, documentary stuff and things to beautify your computer. Enter the world of Jon Burgerman's art, where no surface is safe from his meandering lines!
