Sobre IBD

The first one is the hardest. Then he discovers he likes it. DEATH WISH: Starring Charles Bronson, Architect is based on the sensationalistic and controversial Death Wish movies, in which Charles Bronson portrays an architect who becomes a vigilante-killer. Death Wish by Rob Kovitz is a kind of enigmatic allegory, in which Bronson is Everyman, and Architecture is the dream/nightmare that goes to bed with each of us at night. Treyf 25th Anniversary edition.treyf, adj. [Yiddish] - not kosher, unclean. Treyf Books by Rob Kovitz - unusual books of an indeterminate type, sort of story-picture remix books for people who can’t stomach any more schmaltzy Chicken Soup for the Soul. Treyf Books are cooked up using texts and images compiled from various sources, usually obsessively related to one or more themes, and then recombined through a process of highly subjective editing, ordering and juxtaposition.'Strange and clever.' - Globe & Mail'Funny, but deep.' - Umbrella'Is this a new form of discourse in step with its multivalent, chaotic times, or just an excuse for intellectual laziness? Only the author knows for sure.' - Canadian Architect
