Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cartoonist Winsor McCay (1869-1934) is rightfully celebrated for the skillful draftmanship and inventive design sense he displayed in the comic strips Little Nemo in Slumberland and Dream of the Rarebit Fiend. McCay crafted narratives of anticipation, abundance, and unfulfilled longing. This book explores McCay's interest in dream imagery in relation to the larger preoccupation with fantasy that dominated the popular culture of early twentieth-century urban America. McCay's role as a pioneer of early comics has been documented; yet, no existing study approaches him and his work from an art historical perspective, giving close readings of individual artworks while situating his output within the larger visual culture and the rise of modernism. From circus posters and vaudeville skits to department store window displays and amusement park rides, McCay found fantastical inspiration in New York City's burgeoning entertainment and retail districts. Wide Awake in Slumberland connects McCay's work to relevant children's literature, advertising, architecture, and motion pictures in order to demonstrate the artist's sophisticated blending and remixing of multiple forms from mass culture. Studying this interconnection in McCay's work and, by extension, the work of other early twentieth-century cartoonists, Roeder traces the web of relationships connecting fantasy, leisure, and consumption. Readings of McCay's drawings and the eighty-one black-and-white and color illustrations reveal a man who was both a ready participant and an incisive critic of the rising culture of fantasy and consumerism.

Book excerpt: "This book is the first definitive collection of McCay's earliest accomplishments in newspaper cartooning, containing Dream of The Rarebit Fiend, Tales of the Jungle Imps, Little Sammy Sneeze, and A Pilgrim's Progress. The four series that are included in Early Works showcase McCay's sophisticated artwork and storytelling styles. Jungle Imps is the only collection that was not written by McCay. It was originally published in the Cincinnati Enquirer in 1903, and the Sunday editor of the Enquirer, George Randolph Chester, wrote the stories in verse, which McCay then illustrated. Jungle Imps married McCay's first foray into the world of the newspaper comic strip, to be followed by Little Sammy Sneeze in 1904 and Dream of the Rarebit Fiend in 1905, both of which are also collected here. McCay's unique manipulation of the comic art form, with bird's eye views and unusual perspectives, combined with his unorthodox subject matter, were responsible for the extreme popularity of his work during his lifetime as well as its enduring appeal ad influence on emerging generations of cartoonists."--back cover.

Book excerpt: "This is the fourth volume in the Checker Book Publishing's series reprinting of the cartoons and illustrations of Winsor McCay. The majority of McCay's works published in these volumes are seeing print for the first time since their original publication in the early 1900s. Best known for "Little Nemo in Slumberland," this volume features McCay's other popular but less well known works, such as the 1908 strips of "Dream of the Rarebit Fiend," and "A Pilgrim's Progress," An assortment of McCay's editorial cartoons, meticulously drawn and bitingly funny, are also included in this volume. McCay's unique, artistic approach to the comic strip medium, combined so successfully with his unconventional themes and social satire, earned him both public and critical acclaim during his career and a lasting influence upon future generations of illustrators, cartoonists, and animators."--back cover.

Book excerpt: This unique culinary history of America offers a fascinating look at our past and uses long-forgotten recipes to explain how eight flavors changed how we eat. The United States boasts a culturally and ethnically diverse population which makes for a continually changing culinary landscape. But a young historical gastronomist named Sarah Lohman discovered that American food is united by eight flavors: black pepper, vanilla, curry powder, chili powder, soy sauce, garlic, MSG, and Sriracha. In Eight Flavors, Lohman sets out to explore how these influential ingredients made their way to the American table. She begins in the archives, searching through economic, scientific, political, religious, and culinary records. She pores over cookbooks and manuscripts, dating back to the eighteenth century, through modern standards like How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman. Lohman discovers when each of these eight flavors first appear in American kitchens—then she asks why. Eight Flavors introduces the explorers, merchants, botanists, farmers, writers, and chefs whose choices came to define the American palate. Lohman takes you on a journey through the past to tell us something about our present, and our future. We meet John Crowninshield a New England merchant who traveled to Sumatra in the 1790s in search of black pepper. And Edmond Albius, a twelve-year-old slave who lived on an island off the coast of Madagascar, who discovered the technique still used to pollinate vanilla orchids today. Weaving together original research, historical recipes, gorgeous illustrations and Lohman’s own adventures both in the kitchen and in the field, Eight Flavors is a delicious treat—ready to be devoured.
