"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."
