Karp's Last Book

by William Dritschilo, Jamie Dritschilo (Illustrator)

Through images and text, Karp’s Last Book anticipates the ethos of the 21st century, while laying to rest that of the 20th. It conjures with and builds on the literary ideas of the greatest of existential thinkers and embellishes them with those of Salvador Dali. It is peopled with international villains, surprise heroes, existential situations tied to bucolic lore, and visual puzzles. You should read it in the sequence presented for maximum pleasure, although certain preview readers have naughtily admitted to peeking at the last chapter with no ill effects. Enjoy.Appropriate Critical Comments for Karp’s Last Book“It is a tale told by an idiot”–—William Shakespeare“It is a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty”—Woody Allen“What, me worry?”—Alfred E Newman“No commercial potential”—Frank Zappa“But something is happening here, but you don’t know what it is, do you, Mr Jones?”—Bob Dylan“It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma”—Winston Churchill“What’s all this then?”—Monty Python“Aren’t you famous, too?”—Fred Tuttle“Try again.
