    Dirty Boxes GN (2001 Box Comik Products) 1-1ST

    1st printing.

    By Jacob Weinstein.

    Winner of the Xeric Foundation Grant Award, Dirty Boxes is a graphic novel consisting of three stories: "Refuse" is a post-industrial chutes-and-ladders game as if designed by Alexander Rodchenko; "Cleft Mallet" places Huckleberry Finn before a cracked rear-view mirror; and finally, "Egg-Minus" stirs Russian legend, vaudevillian comic strip mayhem, and grimy Berlin realism into a meaty gallinaceous cocktail as three tangentially related narratives are woven around the motifs of love, betrayal, decapitation and poultry.

    Tottering between a belly laugh and pretentious slush, Dirty Boxes is a stylistic slumgullion with a deliciously hollow center.
