Book Reviews of The R. Crumb Handbook
Book Review: A Good Intro to Crumb
Summary: 4 Stars
This, R. Crumbs Coffeetable book or the Documentary about him would probably be the best choices for an introduction to Crumb. The R. Crumb Handbook is an anthology with Crumb writing his reflections on his life and work, commentary by other people here and there and stuff from various stages of his evolution. There is more of the sexually oriented and neurotic self loathing stuff in this and not as much of the "counterculture" satire or his early fuzzy bunny cutesy work. He does gain a lot of points with me because he appreciates a good Amazon. Crumb is a weird dude who expresses himself in a very stereotypical Jewish way with his self loathing, sexual hang ups, and passive aggressive personality. But apparently he isn't a Jew, even though at times he's like a hybrid of Howard Stern and Woody Allen on a bad acid trip. In spite of that I find his work interesting and entertaining. This also comes with a CD of Crumbs band which is fun, better than average old timey music.
