Everything you need to read the new graphic novel Building Stories: 14 distinctively discrete Books, Booklets, Magazines, Newspapers, and Pamphlets.
With the increasing electronic incorporeality of existence, sometimes it’s reassuring—perhaps even necessary—to have something to hold on to. Thus within this colorful keepsake box the purchaser will find a fully-apportioned variety of reading material ready to address virtually any imaginable artistic or poetic taste, from the corrosive sarcasm of youth to the sickening earnestness of maturity—while discovering a protagonist wondering if she’ll ever move from the rented close quarters of lonely young adulthood to the mortgaged expanse of love and marriage. Whether you’re feeling alone by yourself or alone with someone else, this book is sure to sympathize with the crushing sense of life wasted, opportunities missed and creative dreams dashed which afflict the middle- and upper-class literary public (and which can return to them in somewhat damaged form during REM sleep).
A pictographic listing of all 14 items (260 pages total) appears on the back, with suggestions made as to appropriate places to set down, forget or completely lose any number of its contents within the walls of an average well-appointed home. As seen in the pages of The New Yorker, The New York Times and McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern, Building Stories collects a decade’s worth of work, with dozens of “never-before-published” pages (i.e., those deemed too obtuse, filthy or just plain incoherent to offer to a respectable periodical).
Winner of the 2013 Eisner Awards for Best Graphic Album-New, Best Lettering, and Best Publication Design. Chris Ware is the winner of 2013 Eisner Award for Best Writer/Artist for Building Stories.
One of the New York Times Book Review's Top 10 Books of 2012
CHRIS WARE is widely acknowledged as the most gifted and beloved cartoonist of his generation by both his mother and seven-year-old daughter. His Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth won the Guardian First Book Award and was listed as one of the "100 Best Books of the Decade" by The Times (London) in 2009. An irregular contributor to This American Life and The New Yorker (where some of the pages of this book first appeared) his original drawings have been exhibited in the Whitney Biennial, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and in piles behind his work table in Oak Park, Illinois.
作为Chris Ware的忠粉,当然要收藏《Building Stories》的简体中文版,自去年12月在网上看到《老屋记》的出版消息后,就一直准备入手。但是因为工作的原因,一直等到3月份才买到。关于《老屋记》的出版欠缺,已经有太多详评,这里不再赘述。我想说的是这本书的营销模式,和它的...
评分2018年1月16日 8:30 遇到,真好! 这是一本特别的图书,由一个大盒子封装着14个尺寸各异的印刷读物。它打破了线性的叙事方法,将故事打散、拆碎,任你拼装。最终,你遇到孤单、成长、陪伴……这都是它——《老屋记》 禁不住,就被主人公小女孩传递的孤单吸引,那不就是我们...
评分Even a bee is excruciatingly alone.
评分亚马逊164入,装帧精美,包装厚实。
评分太牛逼,而且这么大一套我以为得3k呢,结果淘宝才300多!!!!!!!!!!
评分孤独无处不在
评分其实我真的很想知道为什么这本书的评分会这么高……这本书前卫的形式和让人凌乱的内容编排让我更愿意相信他是一个装置艺术……以后有机会的话抽空再看看罢?
