The guaranteed-to-make-you-laugh event will take place at the library on September 2, 2025, at 6:30 pm sponsored by the Friends of the Lakeview Library. There will even be drawings for free books!
Artist/architect Jim Good and historian/storyteller Bob Kann collaborated to produce the 124-page untold story of iconic buildings in Madison and the history of gargoyles that once adorned their facades. Step into a world where history and imagination intertwine. You are invited on a journey through the whimsical past of the city’s most architectural guardians—its gargoyles. Jim has created extraordinary linocuts of gargoyles carved in blocks of linoleum, and he and Bob jointly wrote the histories of the roles the gargoyles played in those buildings. You’ll enjoy the comedy, artistry, and joie de vivre in this rollicking adventure.
