Soft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. 1st printing of THE YEAR'S WORK IN LEBOWSKI STUDIES. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread in NEW condition. "A massive underground sensation, THE BIG LEBOWSKI has been hailed as the first cult film of the internet age. In this book, 21 fans and scholars address the film's influences---westerns, noir, grail legends, the 1960s, and Fluxus---and its historical connections to the first Iraq war, boomers, slackerdom, surrealism, college culture, and of course bowling. THE YEAR'S WORK IN LEBOWSKI STUDIES contains neither arid analyses nor lectures for the late-night crowd, but rather new ways of thinking and writing about film culture."[]"This book is the Dude's joint, & proves that academics can be very funny and even sometimes smart."---Percival Everett. "Dudely interesting. Comentale and Jaffe have mixed up a provocative, truly strange cocktail of cultural studies and cultural theory."---Simon Critchley. "There is something here for the slacker as well as the scholar, for all Lebowskis, big and small, for film specialists, '90s fanatics, scholars of American studies, and the ever-growing assemblage of Lebowski cultists worldwide."---Patrick O'Donnell. 21 essays over 460+ pages---I must say it really ties the whole thing together. (Certainly there are enough Lebowski-ites to corralate another year's worth of YWILS essays, right, Lebowski Fest?) Highly worth-it & collectible.
