"THE FIRST ONE IS THE HARDEST. THEN HE DISCOVERS HE LIKES IT."

DEATH WISH, Starring Charles Bronson Architect, is based on the sensationalistic and controversial Death Wish movies, in which Bronson portrays an architect who becomes a vigilante-killer. Rob Kovitz's Death Wish is a kind of enigmatic allegory, in which Bronson is Everyman, and Architecture is the dream/nightmare that goes to bed with each of us at night.

Artist's book consisting of texts and images from Death Wish II and various other sources that are recombined through a process of highly subjective editing, ordering, and juxtaposition.

About the Author

Rob Kovitz is creator, designer, and producer of Treyf Books - unconventional creative projects in book form, sort of story-picture books for people who've had enough Chicken Soup for the Soul. Treyf Books are cooked up using texts and images collected from various sources that are recombined through a process of highly subjective editing, ordering, and juxtaposition into wry, enigmatic, disquieting, funny and thought-provoking works of imagination.

More About the Author

Rob Kovitz creates bookworks and web projects that consist of texts and images he collects from various sources and recombines through a meticulous but highly subjective process of editing, ordering and juxtaposition. In addition to his most recent bookwork Ice Fishing in Gimli, he has published four other bookworks including Pig City Model Farm (with Princeton Architectural Press) and Room Behavior (with Insomniac Press), various short projects in magazines, and online projects at www.treyf.com. He currently lives in Winnipeg, Canada because of its very interesting weather.

"Now, these are useful books," he said, looking around his cabin. "So far as I'm concerned, no book's worth reading that doesn't offer information of practical use to the reader. What kind of books do you like, Andy?"

-- Eric McCormack, First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women

This review is from: Death Wish, Starring Charles Bronson Architect (Paperback)

this book makes no sense and has nothing to do with Bronson or the DEATH WISH movies. You were warned.
