SUMMARY:Ben Katchor
DESCRIPTION:The first cartoonist to receive a MacArthur Fellowship reveals the ways urban planning and architecture influence and reflect cultural values in his new graphic narrative\, Hand-Drying in America.  \n Here are window-ledge pillows designed expressly for people-watching and a forest of artificial trees for sufferers of hay fever. The Brotherhood of Immaculate Consumption deals with the matter of products that outlive their owners; high-visibility construction vests are marketed to lonely people as a method of getting noticed.  \n A master at twisting mundane commodities into surreal objects of social significance\, Katchor reveals a world similar to our own—lives are defined by possessions\, consumerism is a kind of spirituality—but also slightly\, fabulously askew. This surrealist handbook for the rebuilding of society in the twenty-first century ensures that you will never look at a building\, a bar of soap\, or an ATM the same way. \n Katchor is the author of The Cardboard Valise\, The Jew of New York and Julius Knipl\, Real Estate Photographer: The Beauty Supply District.
