Peter Blegvad is an American writer, illustrator, musician, songwriter, and pamphleteer. His previous publications are the comic strip collection The Book of Leviathan and Headcheese.
Welcome to a new strange world.
In a dazzling work of graphic fiction, a surreal journey through a wonderland eerily like real life, The Book of Leviathan chronicles an infant's investigations into life's great mysteries. Endowed with a preternatural interest in metaphysics and philosophy, yet as confused as any innocent by the vagaries of adult behavior, little Levi bears the added burden of living in a world that can literally change at the stroke of a pen.
Aided by a wise pet ("Cat") and a favorite toy ("Bunny"), Levi encounters a frothing ectoplasmic Hegel and a woefully off-the-mark Freud. In less heady adventures, Levi contemplates why his parents disappear at night (and whether he is wholeheartedly pleased when they return each morning); the regrettable liberties taken with the English language; and the relationship between Bennetton and Pablo Neruda.
Peter Blegvad's Book of Leviathan assembles the cream from Levi and Cat's adventures, published in The Independent on Sunday newspaper in the twilight years of the old Millennium. Blegvad's darkly humorous work has been described by Matt Groening as "one of the weirdest things I've ever stared at". Quirky and referential, dark and droll by turn, it follows the faceless baby Levi's journeys into and out of the world. They are escapes, but as some sage once observed, only a jailer would consider the term "escapist" pejorative.
彼得·布雷瓦是那种乱洒金点子的作家,一边让人瞠目结舌,一边让人恨得牙痒痒。一本讲小婴儿的漫画怎么让人看得毛骨悚然?他做到了。难说这是不是漫画:比起漫画它文学味儿多了点,比起小说它字少了点。字数少并不意味着它引起的联想就少。一页纸足够让你的脑子疯狂转上好几圈...
评分1 用鬼婴表达文艺观的人。第1章就写的是奥菲欧的神话传说,有点个意思。 这鸟书没页码,我引第2个故事的开头,鬼婴说:“我现在就可以预见到我的未来,我从很好进步到更好,直到最好。我要积累乖宝宝才有的小红花,直到……小红花富翁。” 你会惊讶,用如此短暂的篇幅,就制造...
评分布雷瓦的插画师生涯和他不算成功的乐队经历有着莫大干系,尽管他本人不会承认。他曾多次提到自己和父亲有命运重叠之处,比如父亲也是插画师,曾参与过大量儿童绘本的创作工作,又比如父亲也曾来到纽约打拼等等。 说话的人长着一张King Crimson的面庞,这倒不是说他长得像《In t...
评分 评分很难用常规思维来描述对这本书的感受。 也不得不承认,跟真正对艺术家之间有着难以跨越对鸿沟。 我尽力去理解了,但这确实是 “ 不受编辑控制的卡通世界设定 ”。 辛普森一家的作者说: 是我看过最棒也最怪的东西之一。 时而离奇古怪,时而充满言外之意,一会儿黑暗,一会儿逗...
