The 284-page book being published by Architecture Autonomous, will be released during a special function, in the city, on July 19. Gerard de Cunha, who has been working on the project, in the introduction to the book says, "I was ecstatic with the 25 volumes of material I collected, but was completely lost in the vastness of Mario's world, incapable of making a choice or organising the book. This period lasted four months and then in a three-week frenzy, I managed to put it all together." The book includes 800 drawings, encompassing all his major phases, writings by and on him and also the objets d'art that have been spawned by his work, he adds. The book includes Mario's short biography by the internationally acclaimed writer, Manohar Malgaonkar, "Tomorrow is another day," by Vinod Mehta and a write-up on Mario by Nissim Ezekiel, besides articles titled "Death of a friend" and "Cartoons - American style" by Mario himself. http://www.navhindtimes.com/articles.php?Story_ID=052552
