Setting off and returning by bike from Prestatyn his amazing unsupported km journey was carefully recorded in a grubby little diary. Kevin's trials, tribulations and torments on this expedition are detailed here in a good humoured narrative, the groans and grunts of the weary walker are more than offset by the fascinating tales of characters he met on the way.
As for the title. Kevin was on that same bike only yesterday, he was going for a dip They hop on a bus and head for Shermer, Illinois -- the setting for all of John Hughes' films -- a place where the girls are cute, the boys are sissies, and someone like Judd Nelson can turn attitude into cold, hard cash.
Of course, the ride isn't so smooth, and the bombed-bastic duo get kicked off the bus. Determined to reach their destination, they set out to make it to Shermer any way they can and end up running into a whole barrel of trouble along the way. This all-new comic book story is intertwined with the story lines from the movies; tracing the gruesome twosome from Chasing Amy through Mallrats to Kevin's latest film, Dogma, scheduled for a fall release.
In addition to those three films and Clerks, Kevin has also written Marvel Comics' popular Daredevil series. These three plays—originally written for a wartime audience of refugees, POWs, soldiers and veterans, exiles, immigrants, people newly enslaved in the wars, and citizens—tap into the mix of fear, loathing, and curiosity with which cultures, particularly Western and Eastern cultures, often view each other, always a productive source of comedy. These current, accessible, and accurate translations have replaced terms meaningful only to their original audience, such as references to Roman gods, with a hilarious, inspired sampling of American popular culture—from songs to movie stars to slang.
Matching the original Latin line for line, this volume captures the full exuberance of Plautus's street language, bursting with puns, learned allusions, ethnic slurs, dirty jokes, and profanities, as it brings three rarely translated works—Weevil Curculio , Iran Man Persa , and Towelheads Poenulus —to a wide contemporary audience. Richlin's erudite introduction sets these plays within the context of the long history of East-West conflict and illuminates the role played by comedy and performance in imperialism and colonialism.
She has also provided detailed and wide-ranging contextual introductions to the individual plays, as well as extensive notes, which, together with these superb and provocative translations, will bring Plautus alive for a new generation of readers and actors.
