THE BERLINER ENSEMBLE THANKS YOU ALL. BY MARCEL DZAMA - - - - To buy The Berliner Ensemble Thanks You All, click here. - - - - Five years ago, McSweeney's published Marcel Dzama's The Berlin Years, bringing Dzama's elegant, enigmatic bears, bats, and sexy ladies to a slumbering nation. The first edition of that book was snapped up in a matter of minutes, and the same thing happened with a second edition a couple of years later. We were thinking about a third printing, but then we thought: instead, why not do it all new and all better? So that's what we've done. The format is similar to the original: an envelope with 28 loose-leaf prints good enough to frame, including a hard-to-describe four-way four-parter (four drawings that fit together to make one really large one, wherein any of the four connects to any of the others, and in any configuration: four square, a vertical stack, all horizontal, an L, etc.—any Tetris shape); plus a scrapbook; plus an insert card; plus an oversized foldout poster. The artwork is entirely new, the scrapbook is new, the envelope has been redesigned—it's a whole new thing, in a beloved familiar shape. Get one for yourself, one for a friend, and three for your helpless unborn grandchildren—they'll thank you someday. Also: Five original Dzama drawings, on hotel stationery, have been sprinkled in randomly. Sort of like Willy Wonka's golden tickets, except, instead of winning a tour of a dangerous, racist chocolate factory, you get a hot Marcel Dzama original. Today could be your lucky day. - - - - - - - - OTHER McSWEENEY'S FEATURES: - - - - The Berliner Ensemble Thanks You All By Marcel Dzama The Catcher in the Retirement Home By Teddy Wayne At My Power Seder Table By Sigmund Stern Bomb Disposal: A Primer By Jim Stallard Wall Text From My Home By Graham T.
