Even if you don't recognize the name, you'd recognize the work--he's the dean of woodcut print-makers--and the illustrations are deeply alive and thought-provoking. It's interesting to see artists of Crumb's and Moser's stature taking on those stories again. <br /><br />pax, DevonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11015463457108574582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-17340198786203814922010-02-02T23:03:50.237-05:002010-02-02T23:03:50.237-05:00Bring the book to EC!

Looks like fun--truly!<br /><br />But, west of Berkeley? --ummm, that would be that little strip of tidal mud flats, The Bay, Alcatraz and then the Golden Gate, and some would even say the Far East is what's west of Berkeley.

If anyone wants to know why that's important, let me know.<br /><br />I am a liberal. I take the Bible seriously. That is why I am a liberal. I read my Bible every day, seriously. I converse with the Creator through the readings. Now I will have to go out and find Crumb's Genesis. Sounds like he makes taking the Bible seriously fun!Lois Keenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708877817422097051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-30637285079259712082010-02-02T16:25:57.219-05:002010-02-02T16:25:57.219-05:00My brother gave me this for Christmas, and I was t...My brother gave me this for Christmas, and I was thrilled!SCGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08162762233972733978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-11747363130983578832010-02-02T10:17:05.098-05:002010-02-02T10:17:05.098-05:00I never tire of Genesis - and am delighted with Cr...I never tire of Genesis - and am delighted with Crumb's work.
