AWN is proud to bring Oscar-winning animator Gene Deitch's brand new book, "How To Succeed In Animation (Don't Let A Little Thing Like Failure Stop You!)," to the Web with the publication of GeneDeitch.AWN.com. Deitch's long awaited book is a must read for animation newcomers and veterans alike. The book presents Gene's highly idiosyncratic and obstinate views as to what animation is all about. Much of the information has never before been published, with many never before seen illustrations. New this week:

I directed my first film there, nearly had my tender career nipped and discovered John Lee Hooker.
