(THREE STOOGES) RAMSEY CAMPBELL—Six Stooges & Counting

Description: RAMSEY CAMPBELLSIX STOOGES AND COUNTINGFIRST PRINTING IN DUST JACKETSIGNED LIMITED EDITION#89 of 100 CopiesPS PUBLISHING (2023) Hollywood comedy teams have endured like the Stooges, either in length of career or in continuing to entertain. One secret of their longevity was how their line-up often changed. Moe and Larry were the constant personnel, supported over the decades by Shemp and Curly and a trinity of Joes, one of them uncredited. In Six Stooges and Counting Campbell argues that the impermanence of identity is a frequent theme of their films, one aspect of the anarchy they incarnate. Once he believed there was little to their comedy but knockabout, and in this book he demonstrates how wrong he was. You'll learn of their influence on Kubrick and Tarantino, and may it be present in Fassbinder's films and Hong Kong action movies as well? You'll find them playing Shakespeare and Greek tragedy, and figuring in Beckett and Bram Stoker. To quote Bridget Fonda: "I think that anybody who doesn't like the Three Stooges just never really watched." Ramsey Campbell looked at them afresh and hopes this book will make the reader do that too. Ramsey Campbell (born 4 January 1946) is an English horror fiction writer, editor and critic who has been writing for well over fifty years. He is the author of over 30 novels and hundreds of short stories, many of them winners of literary awards. Three of his novels have been adapted into films. Since he first came to prominence in the mid-1960s, critics have cited Campbell as one of the leading writers in his field: T.E.D. Klein has written that "Campbell reigns supreme in the field today", and Robert Hadji has described him as "perhaps the finest living exponent of the British weird fiction tradition", while S. T. Joshi stated, "future generations will regard him as the leading horror writer of our generation, every bit the equal of Lovecraft or Blackwood." In a 2021 appreciation of his collected works, The Washington Post said: "Taken together, they constitute one of the monumental accomplishments of modern popular fiction." $6.00 Insured Media Mail Boxed Shipping Within 2 Business Days
