Originally, manga was used in Japanese to refer to whimsical drawings or picture books. Long before Manga was a multi-billion-dollar-a-year comic book industry, there was Hokusai's thirteen-volume manga, depicting everything from trees to demons, from squirrels to shingles. This was the work that inspired the form for Marina Zurkow's own crazy amalgam depicting a taxonomy of products derived from petroleum. Remaining true to this inspiration, this book compiles a curious array of imaginative-philosophical texts illuminating, illustrating, fabulating, and riffing upon a wide range of petrochemical-based objects and ideas. This "collection" maps new webs of relations between us and these seemingly ubiquitous yet often unremarked objects, along the lines of a fanciful petro-poetics. Fanciful, yet dead serious. As Duncan Murrell writes, "...our plastics will live forever, no longer able to decompose, while we become molecules again. When we are long gone, there will still be plastic clown masks circling in the Pacific Ocean. This, and not our great works of art and literature, will be the persistent legacy of life on earth, these objects crafted out of life's own ancient flesh." 606 $aComic books, strips, etc$xInfluence 606 $aProse poems, American$y21st century 606 $aShort stories, American$y21st century 606 $aArts, American$y21st century 606 $aPetroleum chemicals$xIn literature 610 $aillustration 610 $apetroleum 610 $amanga 610 $apoetry 610 $aecology 610 $aphilosophy 610 $anature 615 0$aComic books, strips, etc.$xInfluence. 615 0$aProse poems, American 615 0$aShort stories, American 615 0$aArts, American 615 0$aPetroleum chemicals$xIn literature. 700 $aZurkow$b Marina$0876134 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910140446703321 996 $aThe Petroleum Manga: A Project by Marina Zurkow$92429220 997 $aUNINA
