{"product_id":"syncopated","title":"Syncopated","description":"An Anthology of Nonfiction Picto-Essays\u003cbr\u003eThe stories in Syncopated challenge convention, provide perspective, and search out  secret truths–all in the inviting, accessible form of comics.  Syncopated will give  you a daringly different view of the past–from the history of vintage postcards to  the glory days of old Coney Island. It will immerse you in fascinating subcultures,  from the secret world of graffiti artists to the chess champs of Greenwich Village.  And it will open your eyes to pieces of forgotten history–for example, the Tulsa  race riots of 1921–and to new perspectives on critical current events, such as the  interrogation of prisoners at Guantánamo Bay. These “picto-essays” encompass memoir,  history, journalism, and biography in varied visual styles–each handpicked by Brendan  Burford, one of America’s top editors.Including:How and Why to Bale Hay by Nick Bertozzi Penny Sentiments by Rina Piccolo Boris Rose: Prisoner of Jazz by Brendan Burford and Jim Campbell Portfolio by Tricia Van den Bergh Father Figures by Josh Neufeld West Side Improvements by Alex Holden The Evening Hatch by Richard and Brian Haimes What We So Quietly Saw by Greg Cook “Like Hell I Will” by Nate Powell Welcome Home, Brave by Dave Kiersh The Sound of Jade by Sarah Glidden Subway Buskers by Victor Marchand Kerlow Erik Erikson by Paul Karasik Dvorak by Alec Longstreth A Coney Island Rumination by Paul Hoppe An Encounter with Richard Peterson by Brendan Burford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Artists \u0026amp; Writers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrendan Burford is the comics editor at King Features Syndicate.
