Passionella And Other Stories
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good. Wear and tear. Chipped along spine and folds. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A landmark work of satirical graphic storytelling, Passionella and Other Stories presents four of Jules Feiffer's most celebrated fables, drawn in his signature scratchy, expressive cartoon style. The title story chronicles Ella, a downtrodden chimney sweep who dreams of becoming a glamorous movie star — a sharp, witty sendup of Hollywood fantasy and American consumer culture. Each tale in the collection skewers mid-twentieth-century anxieties with biting wit, targeting conformity, romance, masculinity, and the absurdities of modern life. Feiffer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist and playwright, illustrates the gap between aspiration and reality with a deceptively light hand, making this an enduring classic of American satirical comics. Originally serialised in the Village Voice, these stories retain their sting and charm decades after their first publication.
