{"product_id":"the-projector-and-elephant-jeet-heer-9781681374840","title":"The Projector and Elephant","description":"Two surreal graphic novels about technology, corporatization, and alienation in the modern world by a cult-favorite comics innovator.\nIn 1968, the British artist and writer Martin Vaughn-James emigrated to Canada. Over the next eight years, he proceeded to produce some of the most mesmerizing and inventive works in comics, light-years ahead of his contemporaries. Among them were Elephant and The Projector, linked graphic novels that guide the reader (and a bespectacled Everyman) through landscapes built out of both the everyday and the nightmarish. Jam-packed superhighways, plummeting horses, vast urban wastelands, colossal businessmen, demented cartoon animals, and interstellar oranges are just a small part of Vaughn-James’s prophetic vision of society’s turn away from the natural world to the artificial.\nTogether for the first time in a single volume, designed and edited by Seth and with an introduction by Jeet Heer, Elephant and The Projector stand as a reminder that we have yet to catch up to Vaughn-James.","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50362051002656,"sku":"9781681374840","price":38.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781681374840.jpg?v=1780943447","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-projector-and-elephant-jeet-heer-9781681374840","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
