Join author William Dunlap for a book signing during Ogden After Hours, featuring Deltaphonic, on March 26, from 6 to 8 p.m. Dunlap will be signing his book, “Pappy Kitchens and the Saga of Red Eye the Rooster.” His magnum opus, "The Saga of Red Eye the Rooster," was painted between 1973 and 1976 and presents a homespun Pilgrim’s Progress in the form of a beast fable. Kitchens’s most ambitious allegorical work, this fable consists of sixty panels, each one measuring fifteen inches square, composed of mixed materials on paper, and executed in three groups of twenty. Kitchens follows Red Eye from foundling to funeral, exploring the life of this extraordinary bird. Red Eye’s quasi-human behavior inevitably maneuvers him into conflicts with antagonists of all sorts. He encounters violence, avarice, lust, greed, and most of the other seven deadly sins, dispatching them in heroic fashion until he finally succumbs to his own fatal flaw.
