LONG STORY SHORT

A collection of cartoons, illustrations, and paintings that condense the complicated narratives of famous books into one-page works of art.

The Catcher in the Rye. Lolita. Moby-Dick. One Hundred Years of Solitude. On Narcissism. A Room of One's Own. Frankenstein. These are but a handful of classic works spectacularly distilled into single pages by Mr. Fish and his talented Friends. By boiling down the big pictures of well-known works of both ction and non ction, the contributing cartoonists, have, with Long Story Short, literally made long stories short by abridging their essence and encapsulating their meaning into succinct snapshots that are at times funny, sad, inspiring, rude, crude, beautiful, profound, stomach-turning, and mind-blowing.
Includes original artwork from: Mr. Fish, Ted Rall, Stephanie McMillan, Sarah Awad, Eli Valley, Wes Tyrell, Tamara Knoss, Keith Henry Brown, Sam Henderson, Lodi Marasescu, Surag Ramachandran, Tami Knight, Eric J. Garcia, John Kovaleski, Marissa Dougherty, Siri Dokken, John G., Andy Singer, Tara Seibel, Gary Dumm, Clare Kolat, Nate Ulsh, Benjamin Slyngstad, Ron Hill, JP Trostle, and Beth McCaskey.
