Palookaville 24

An intimate, unforgettable, and exquisite collection, Pallookaville 24. is an essential for your Seth library. Palookaville 24. marks the long-awaited return of Seth's beloved series, which offers readers an invitation into the world and varied artistic practice of the iconic cartoonist. Beginning with Seth's serialized adolescent autobiography, Nothing Lasts. , we enter the fleeting summers of his late teen years, specifically focusing on his summer jobs-a stint as a gofer at the Ministry of Natural Resources and his experiences as a bellboy, dishwasher, and cook at a local inn. A memoir ruminating on memory and place and the people who pass through his life, this chapter of Nothing Lasts. closes with a seminal event in Seth's young life. An intriguing visual feast, The Apology of Albert Batch. is the culmination of ten years of collaboration between the director Luc Chamberlane and Seth-a short film documenting Seth's venture into puppetry. An extensive photo essay detailing the making of the film accompanies a DVD. And lastly, Seth presents, warts and all, an exercise from his sketchbook. A simple activity: Select five names from a list and produce five stories to go with them. Drawn loosely with poster paint and ink, the work is spontaneous, showing a different side of the master artist. Palookaville 24. showcases Seth's artwork alongside his continually evolving artistic practice with unique elegance.
