{"product_id":"9781770460188","title":"Palookaville #20","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePalookaville #20 \u003c\/i\u003eis the first volume of the seminal comic book series to be published in book form. The expansion into hardcover from pamphlet is a parallel that illustrates Seth's growth into an award-winning cartoonist, book designer, hobbyist, editor, essayist, and installation artist. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeth's first autobiographical comics since \u003ci\u003ePalookaville #2 \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003e#3 \u003c\/i\u003ewill be featured in \u003ci\u003e#20\u003c\/i\u003e. Drawing in his loose sketchbook style, similar to his book \u003ci\u003eWimbledon Green\u003c\/i\u003e, Seth details his trip to a book festival and his awkward struggle to overcome isolation and communicate with the people around him. Seth continues the serialization of his acclaimed \u003ci\u003eClyde Fans \u003c\/i\u003estory line, about which \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review \u003c\/i\u003eaptly noted, \"Seth truly believes in his wares—the little meanings of regular lives.\" This is, perhaps, nowhere more apparent than in the cartoonist's ongoing three-dimensional rendering of his fictional Dominion City, most recently featured in his book \u003ci\u003eGeorge Sprott\u003c\/i\u003e. Using sketches, photographs, and an essay, the cartoonist explains why the need to conceptualize the fictional city in sculptures was a natural extension from comics storytelling, and how if he had his way, it would have stayed in his basement forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057092739312,"sku":"9781770460188","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781770460188_p0.jpg?v=1763706301","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781770460188","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
