Publisher's Synopsis
Popular culture has never been observed so poetically or examined by such an inquisitive mind as in this debut collection by Jarret Keene. Pieces about contemporary social issues, including abandoned babies and concealed weapons, contrast with and complement pieces about Mad magazine's Alfred E. Neuman, along with Aubrey Beardsley, Godzilla, Ava Gardner, 'Night of the Living Dead' and Captain America. Unexpected and accessible, Keene's work is at once thought-provoking and timely. 'Apt to change your idea of beauty' - W.Trowbridge
