For over 40 years he contributed strips to <I>The Village Voice</I>, and has long been a regular contributor to the London <I>Observer</I> and <I>Playboy</I>. An animated cartoon based on his story Munro received an Academy Award in 1961. In the '60s, he branched into theater, writing several plays now regarded as classics: <I>Little Murders; Knock, Knock; The White House Murder Case; Elliot Loves</I>; and <I>The Grown-Ups</I>, to name a few. Originally conceived for the stage, his <I>Carnal Knowledge</I> became one of the landmark films of the '70s. He has written two prose novels, <I>Harry the Rat with Women</I> and <I>Ackroyd</I>, as well as a cartoon novel, <I>Tantrum</I>. In the 1990s, Feiffer embarked on yet another career, this time as a children's book author. He has over a half-dozen to his credit, including modern classics like <I>The Man and the Ceiling</I>.<BR><BR><I>Passionella and Other Stories</I> collects Feiffer's finest extended graphic narratives of the late '50s and early '60s. It opens in full-color with "Excalibur and Rose," the fable of a village comedian who embarks on a crusade in search of his serious side, which he finds in spades when he encounters his true love, the pathologically depressed Rose. The volume's centerpiece, "Passionella," a retelling of Cinderella set in modern Hollywood, concerns a chimney sweep whose fairy godmother transforms her into the "mysterious exotic bewitching temptress"&#151;and movie star&#151;Passionella. Other stories include "The Lonely Machine," an account of one man's attempt to find the perfect relationship through robot love, and "Harold Swerg," the predicament of the world's greatest athlete who'd rather stay at his mundane job than compete against others, despite his country's desperate pleas to enter the Olympics. Three more classic graphic tales and several entertaining one-act plays round out this handsomely designed hardcover edition. 582286 29 7 1997 Passionella and Other Stories (Feiffer : the Collected
