London. 1981. Nina Karsov. 1st British Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0907652018. 95 pages. paperback. keywords: Poland Eastern Europe Humor Politics. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Journalist Francis Wheen has written of Krauze that whatever [his] subject. his ironic, cosmopolitan intelligence never fails to enlighten. Krauze can do caricatures and jokes, of course, but his real genius lies in the creation of vivid metaphor. absurd, sometimes scary imagery that owes more to writers such as Bulgakov or Alfred Jarry than to Jak or Mac. this is a man who both works hard and thinks hard, as proved by his dozens of brilliantly apt drawings in the book Introducing The Enlightenment [2000]. Krauze is both an artist and an intellectual; but he wears his learning lightly. Like all good intellectuals, he keeps Occam's razor within easy reach, ready to slash through obfuscation and reveal a plain truth in all its simplicity-or perhaps one should say 'in black and white', since he employs black ink more tellingly than any other illustrator I know. this remarkable artist has always accepted the duty that is more traditionally assigned to journalists, though many of them prefer to duck the challenge: he speaks truth to power. inventory #6098.
