Long Story Short: Turning Famous Books into Cartoons

The Catcher in the Rye. Lolita. Moby-Dick. Infinite Jest. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. A Room of One's Own. Native Son. These are but a handful of classic works spectacularly distilled into single pages by Mr. Fish and his talented Friends. By boiling down the big pictures of well-known works of both fiction and nonfiction, the contributing cartoonists, have, with Long Story Short, literally made long stories short by abridging their essence and encapsulating their meaning into succinct snapshots that are at times funny, sad, inspiring, rude, crude, beautiful, profound, stomach-turning, and mind-blowing.
