Title: The Book of Genesis
Author: Anonymous
Illustrator: R. Crumb
Publisher: Norton
Year: 2009
224 pages
Through his illustrations, Crumb draws attention to parts of Genesis we might otherwise elide over or interpret differently. The amount of pagan worship apparently engaged in by our protagonists is highlights by, for example, the number of times oil is poured over just-erected standing stones. The visual approach showcases the weirdness of some of the stories, and the dual narrative structure of Genesis as well.
