"Spiegelman's drawings are like demonic woodcuts: every angle,
line, and curve jumps out at you. Stylishness and brutishness are
in perfect accord." - The New York Times Art Spiegelman's sinister
and witty black-and-white drawings give charged new life to Joseph
Moncure March's Wild Party, a lost classic from 1928. The inventive
and varied page designs offer perfect counterpoint to the staccato
tempo of this hard-boiled jazz-age tragedy told in syncopated
rhyming couplets. Here is a poem that can make even readers with no
time for poetry stop dead in their tracks. Once read, large shards
of this story of one night of debauchery will become permanently
lodged in the brain. When The Wild Party was first published, Louis
Untermeyer declared: "It is repulsive and fascinating, vicious and
vivacious, uncompromising, unashamed . . . and unremittingly
powerful. It is an amazing tour de force."
