(W/A/CA) Kevin Huizenga
The River at Night cartoonist revisits his early-aughts breakthrough In the two decades since Curses first hit the shelves, River at Night cartoonist Kevin Huizenga has taken his rightful place on a short A-list of comics experimentalists. Deep research and loopy cartooning serve up philosophical musings while maintaining a classic comic-strip devotion to ?the gag.? Huizenga remains one of the funniest and smartest cartoonists working today, and now, the very book that heralded his arrival as a talent to watch is available once more in deluxe paperback as the early work of a now true genius. The short stories collected herewith confront the textures of mortality in unique and peculiar ways. Central character Glenn Ganges is a seemingly middle-class, suburbanite whose blank-eyed wonderment at the everyday brings together diverse aspects of our world?like golf, theology, late-night diners, parenthood, politics, Sudanese refugees, and hallucinatory vision?into a complete experience as multifaceted as each of our own lives.
Curtiss Hill is a millionaire, philanthropist, and famed dog-racecar driver. On the day before the biggest race of the season, his cat-engineer has gone missing! With his rival planning to steal the race, a photojournalist hot on his tail, and a civil war between the cats and dogs beginning to escalate, Curtiss must uncover the truth behind the sudden disappearance of his friend in a race for life, liberty, and freedom!
