 Chuck Jones - Extremes and In-Betweens, a Life in Animation $14.98 Besides a wealth of cartoon samples, the always interesting CHUCK JONES: EXTREMES AND IN-BETWEENS is chaptered with such headings as Music, Backgounds, Characters, Story, Facial Expressions, Animation techniques, et al. Certain works receive special attention: "The Dover Boys," "Duck Amuck," "High Note," "The Dot and the Line," "The Rabbit of Seville" and "One Froggy Evening," which a certain unnamed "critic" with the initials "LM" thinks is the Citizen Kane of animation. Pardon me, but I'd take just about any 1940s WB toon over "Froggy" (not that it's NG-- some of us prefer the older shorts, when Daffy used to hoot and hop around, Bugs had a harder edge and Elmer was voiced by the great Arthur Q. Bryan).

Todorovs many writings include The Poetics of Prose, The Conquest of America, Mikhail Bakhtin: The Dialogical Principle, Facing the Extreme: Moral Life in the Concentration Camps, On Human Diversity, Hope and Memory, Imperfect Garden: Lessons from the Twentieth Century and The New World Disorder: Reflections of a European. Duties and Delights presents a series of interviews with Tzvetan Todorov which illuminate the paths that he has taken, the paths that he has crossed and the paths that he has opened up for others. |
