Junkyard Dogs: And William Shakespeare

Rating:
Summary: The Bard and the Junkyard Dog
Review: "Ye who loves dogs and life and Shakespeare (or any one of those) may also feel fondness for a small book of photos that combines all three in a really original way. It's photographer/sculptor Mark Lamonica's tribute to an unsung part of Americana:junkyards and the valiant beasts who guard them." Los Angeles Times, December 28,1997

Review: "The Bard's doggerel, juxtaposed with wistful curs in trashy surrroundings reminiscent of Baz Luhrmann's...Rrromeo and Juliet."

Summary: Review from CITY PAPER, Washington, D.C.
Review: "The photographer's brain made the unexpected connection between junkyard dogs and William Shakespeare, and the result is JUNKYARD DOGS AND WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, color photographs of dogs on duty accompanied by quotes from the Bard. That it makes sense and seems, after the fact, obvious, is the mark of its curious genius."

Summary: Shakespeare and Dogs ?
Review: Shakespeare Shakespeare Shakespeare and Junk Yard Dogs. Who would ever think to put the two of them together. Mark LaMonica did, thats who. Mr. Lamonica is a pure genius. I have been reading Shakespeare for about 5 years now. This is the most enjoyable book which includes Shakespeare. I am from Mr. LaMonica's home town of Brooklyn, NY. Besides Coney Island and "The Silver Hurst," Mr. LaMonica is one of the best things to "come outta" Brooklyn. I hope to see more of Mr. LaMonica's work as shown in the synopsis.

Summary: Shakespeare and Dogs ?
Review: Street wise photographer, Mark Lamonica, hits to road with color film and Nikon to immortalize the guard dogs of the auto nether world. Quotes from the various works of a Mr. Shakespeare from England verbalize thoughts that may or may not be in the heads of these canines. A million dogs in a million junk yards "could" eventually write all the works of The Bard. A nifty coffee table book in full color with witty asides by a worthy playwright. Originality at a more than fair price. BOB STANE
