{"product_id":"all-in-line","title":"All in Line","description":"\u003cb\u003eA new edition of Saul Steinberg's memoir-via-drawing of his escape from fascist Europe and of his transition into life as an American, capturing absurdities, delights, and the grim realities of war along the way.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo escape fascist Europe, the artist Saul Steinberg drew his way to America. He made it to New York in 1942 already in contract with \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, but was soon called up to serve in the US Naval Reserve in World War II. This book, \u003ci\u003eAll In Line\u003c\/i\u003e, is a memoir-via-drawing of this key time in Steinberg's life, when he began to find his line and his way as an American. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn works for \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and others, Steinberg depicted delightful absurdities and quiet moments: a painter saws a long canvas into smaller, sellable portions; a child draws a gigantic face on the sidewalk to the confusion of passersby; American soldiers stroll through exquisitely detailed streets in China, India, North Africa, and Italy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But Steinberg didn't shy away from the grim realities of his era. There are withering anti-fascist drawings, as well as glimpses of war: skies crowded with bombers, families on the run, army convoys, broken-down jeeps, and smoldering battlefields. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis new edition of \u003ci\u003eAll in Line\u003c\/i\u003e includes an introduction by cartoonist Liana Finck, an afterword by Steinberg scholar Iain Topliss on the making of the book, and full captions with notes. It will resonate with both lifelong Steinberg fans as well as those who are encountering his work for the first time.","brand":"Iain Topliss, Saul Steinberg, Liana Finck","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46336207782124,"sku":"9781681378626","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781681378626.jpg?v=1743671291","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/all-in-line","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
