Scope and Contents BOOKLIST on Amazon.com" Drescher, known for his strange creatures and skewed, often gruesome view of the world, takes this tale down a more socially correct path--though not without the requisite quirky details. Hubert is a pudge--a pig with purple polka-dot horns and a long nose that curls just like his tail. Pudges have short, unhappy lives, ending at Jake's Pudge Processing Farm, where the result is "greasy food products." The only freedom they experience is during the yearly barn cleaning--and that's the day Hubert escapes. Life is good, and with lots of food and fresh air, Hubert becomes "supchunky-nrmous." His new size gives him the strength and courage to return to the farm and save his fellow pudge pals. He also has a word with Farmer Jake, and before someone can say "Whole Foods," the pudge-processing farm turns into a tofu mill. Amusing and edgy, the artwork features some memorable scenes, including a purple-tinted, two-page spread showing rows of penned pudges. There's...

This book attempts to answer the "eternal question: is there life after death?

'Postal Seance' records the results of this important experiment, reproducing each of the letters sent to such luminaries as James Joyce, Buchminster Fuller, Dolly the Sheep and 49 others with notes on their arrival and return status."Two pages of artist stamps by Drescsher are provided so the readers can conduct their own postal seance experiments. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents With his unique graphic and typographic style, Drescher's disturbing book reflects the turbulence of the twenty-first century in word and image. Its theme is particularly timely relevant to the destruction and turmoil of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001, close to the date that this book is being catalogued. "Turbulence is an intricately produced artist's book that catalogues Drescher's vivid world of images, and a visual narrative that follows one man through the troubled past, an uncertain future, and the enduring timelessness of myth." BOOKLIST review on Amazon.com Although best known as a highly regarded children's book illustrator, Drescher squarely aims this elegantly designed artist's book at adults, and sophisticated adults at that. He offers a loose interpretation of the Hindu myth of creation, bracketing it with a vague narrative about a traveler setting off on the "ocean of bliss" and throwing in a passage depicting a...
