{"product_id":"9780985159511","title":"Blutch: So Long, Silver Screen","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat are the movies? What effect do they have on us? Why do we love them so much? The influential, award-winning French cartoonist Blutch (born 1967) addresses these questions in a series of interlocking short comics that combine scholarly history with ribald romanticism, and feature a motley cast of actors and characters, including Claudia Cardinale, Jean-Luc Godard, Burt Lancaster, Ava Gardner, Michel Piccoli, Tarzan and Luchino Visconti. Blutch has published over a dozen books since debuting in 1988 in the legendary avant-garde magazine \u003ci\u003eFluide Glacial\u003c\/i\u003e: among his books are \u003ci\u003eMitchum\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePeplum\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLe Petit Christian\u003c\/i\u003e, and his illustrations regularly appear in \u003ci\u003eLes Inrockuptibles\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLibération\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e. As much visual essay as graphic novel, a daydream and fantastic meditation on the other art of telling stories with images, \u003ci\u003eSo Long, Silver Screen\u003c\/i\u003e is the finest work yet from an uncontested master of contemporary cartooning, as well as his first full-length work to be published in English. It is designed by famed cartoonist David Mazzucchelli.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PictureBox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47024068526320,"sku":"9780985159511","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780985159511_p0.jpg?v=1763883347","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780985159511","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
