![]() ![]() This lives up to its billing as a delightfully fun adventure, though it gets downbeat near the end to fit in with the grumpy, depressed Scrooge of his original debut story. ![]() THE LIFE AND TIMES OF SCROOGE MCDUCK Vol.2 by Don Rosa takes Scrooge from striking it rich in the Yukon to his return to his Scottish family, then off to his new estate in Duckburg and his eventful first meeting with Donald Duck and Huey, Dewey and Louie. That lack prompted me to crack open THE ART OF THE SURREALISTS by Edmund Swinglehurst in addition to the SURREALISTS book I read a while back and enjoy the work of various artists Rasula lists including Schwitters, Duchamps, Picabia and Ernst. And even allowing for that, Matthew Gale’s Dada and Surrealism was more informative and better illustrated (seriously, this is astonishingly weak on the visuals). ![]() DESTRUCTION WAS MY BEATRICE: Dada and the Unmaking of the 20th Century by Jed Rasula would probably have worked better if I was stone-cold ignorant about Dada, but as I know the highlights and the details Rasula offers aren’t that interesting, I can’t say it worked for me. ![]()
