Zero Lubin

Zero Lubin and Lubin Publishing To enter the world of Zero Lubin is to enter a colourful yet precarious wonderland of intriguing characters and places. Inspired by a bygone era of attaché cases, bakelite radios, diamanté brooches, old jags and 50s cocktail cabinets, Zero Lubin offers poignant glimpses of life to entertain and indulge its audience. In a universe reminiscent of the charm of curio shops, caravan holidays and the garish colours of 50s advertising, we meet dubious characters who illustrate a powerful and enduring nostalgia for a bygone age yet also highlight, with exquisite subtlety, certain nuances of contemporary society. Lubin Tales is a collection of richly illustrated tales, part bedside book, part cult classic and entirely thought- provoking. Whether you read the stories aloud “in a celebratory fashion” as King suggests, choose just one anecdote to peruse or curl up in an armchair and devour the compendium in one, it’s a book which will transport you to another world. A host of characters tease and entertain: The Fabulous Pauls - one a continental hairdresser, the other a 1950's welterweight boxer, the promenade prancing Poodle Faker and the deliciously deviant Stealerant Lubin Tales, designed and illustrated by Louise Burston.
