Building Stories by Chris Ware
When I saw this was on sale I ran out and bought it. It’s a graphic novel consisting of 14 separate books, pamphlets and strips of different sizes packed into a large flat box. You can dive into the narrative at any point and read it in any order, building the story as you go. You are quite literally surrounded by the melancholy and urban alienation of these characters, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen internal mutterings so acutely rendered. It’s selling for $30 on Amazon, which is pretty much a steal.
I saw one of these in our comic book shop this afternoon, and I found it extremely intriguing.
