Riassunto

Ralph Steadman, artist of distinction, caricaturist of brilliance, and longtime unsentimental cat lover, here shows us cats everywhere: cats in furniture, cat dictators, T. S. Eliot cats and Samuel Johnson cats, fashion cats and CATalogs, blot cats, splat cats, and fallen-from-skyscraper cats. There are bugs that live on cats, and uninvented cats, too.

Ranging from the fierce and furious to the whimsical and wistful, the whole world of feline life is here. In a cat book like no other, there is nothing soppy as Steadman exposes the heart and bone and sinew of these most independent and lovable pets.

Recensione:

Praise for The Ralph Steadman Book of Dogs "[Steadman's] dogs are ink blots with wild eyes and wagging tails, or sinisterly anthropomorphised in evening dress. They're bug-ridden things slobbering or scratching in frantic lines and spots. Dog dictators, fashion dogs and beer dogs scamper across the pages of his new book, in all their furry or fierce, funny or faithful glory."--The Independent (UK) "Gonzo illustrator inks The Ralph Steadman Book of Dogs--the right book for a man's coffee table."--Men's Health Praise for The Joke's Over: "Hunter Thompson’s marvelously deranged illustrator, Ralph Steadman, gives us a terrific memoir with The Joke’s Over . . . His testament to Thompson, light on hyperbole, is both fitting and touching."--New York Post
"There can be no question that Hunter S. Thompson’s pivotal works would not be the same without the accompanying artworks of his partner Ralph Steadman . . . A vivid, well-written paean to Thompson and, by extension, the char'cter of the American rebel."--The Buffalo News
"Enormously entertaining."--The Boston Globe
Praise for Untrodden Ground:
"Steadman has traveled to the world's finest wine-making regions and compiled a fabulously entertaining book about his journeys, full of his famously bizarre and amusing art. . . . To that--and to Steadman's wonderful work--we raise a glass." --The Miami Herald "And surely the unlikeliest travel book of the season is Untrodden Grapes, a volume of illustrations by Ralph Steadman, a book that is pure oxymoron. Mr. Steadman's famously anarchic style of drawing is brought to bear upon a global selection of vineyards. Mr. Steadman is on the trail of gonzo wine."--The New York Times
