He is an associate professor of writing at Columbia University and a staff writer and theater critic for The New Yorker magazine."The title of the insistent new monograph...is as fervently conscientious as the artist's loud, literal, and acutely compelling illustrations."<br />—<i>Bookforum<br /><br /></i>"This encapsulates Munday's design work: arresting juxtapositions, an engagement with the political, and above all, a deliberate, understated presence. As heavy as the visuals are, Munday's hand is light. The images speak for themselves. <i>Deep Sleep</i> is a powerful survey of thirty-three-year-old Munday's career thus far . . . It's rare that a monograph can be accurately described as important or necessary. <i>Don't Sleep,</i> however, fits the bill. Isolated from their origianl context and arranged by theme, Munday's images accumulate power—the power not just to move readers but to move them to action. <i>Don't Sleep</i> is the kind of book that burns through the coffee table it's left on."<br />—<i>The Paris Review</i>
