little nemo in slumberland by winsor mccay

Alexander Nemerov, author of Acting in the Night: Macbeth and the Places of the Civil War 'In praise of animation and play, The Poetics of Slumberland is what we rarely find-an inspiring book exploring the elastic pleasures of the imagination.' The book broadens to consider similar 'animated' behaviors in seemingly disparate media-films about Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso, and Vincent van Gogh the musical My Fair Lady and the story of Frankenstein the slapstick comedies of Jerry Lewis and contemporary comic superheroes-drawing them all together as the purveyors of embodied utopias of disorder. Slumberland is more than a marvelous world for Nemo and its citizens, it's an aesthetic space defined through the artist's innovations an animated space that opens to embrace the imaginative sensibility of a reader and it's a temporary space of play. Bukatman begins with Winsor McCay's Little Nemo in Slumberland to explore how and why the emerging media of comics and cartoons brilliantly captured a playful, rebellious energy characterized by hyperbolic emotion, physicality, and imagination.
