Literature is long. Comics are short. Does Proust get you down? Do
you find The Unbearable Lightness of Being simply unbearable? Is
The Inferno your own private hell? Do you long to be conversant
about classics like Moby Dick, the Bhagavad Gita, Madame Bovary,
and, um, Twilight? Bestselling illustrator Lisa Brown (The Airport
Book; Baby, Mix Me a Drink) did her homework. Long Story Short
offers 100 pithy and skewering three-panel literary summaries, from
curriculum classics like Don Quixote, Lord of the Flies, and Jane
Eyre to modern favorites like Beloved, The Brief Wondrous Life of
Oscar Wao, and Atonement, conveniently organised by subjects
including "Love," "Sex," "Death," and "Female Trouble." Lisa
Brown's Long Story Short is the perfect way to turn a traipse
through what your English teacher called "the canon" into a frolic
- or to happily cram for the next occasion that requires you to
appear bookish and well-read.
