I went to the talk at the 92st Y for this book! Everyone recieved a free copy, but I haven’t had a chance to dive in yet. Crumb was hilarious in person (I had no idea he hated nyc so much 😂😭) but Dan was super cool ! I’m interested to check out more of his work now.

I love that he hates NYC. It fits his persona.

I have The Book of Genesis illustrated by Crumb, plus the album for Cheap Suit Serenaders. I may have played the album bald, I’m not sure. I haven’t had it with me for many years. My ex husband was the main fan. I also have a motley collection of Zap Comix. I’d recently wondered what he’d been up to. Thanks for the info.

Really enjoyed this piece, Jason. If I taught psychology, I would use Zwigoff's Crumb doc as part of the curriculum. I'm haunted by it and find myself suddenly thinking about it sometimes all these years later. Looking forward to the Nadel book.
