This first book from Chicago author Chris Ware is a pleasantly-decorated view at a lonely and emotionally-impaired "everyman" (Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth), who is provided, at age 36, the opportunity to meet his father for the first time. An improvisatory romance which gingerly deports itself between 1890's Chicago and 1980's small town Michigan, the reader is helped along by thousands of colored illustrations and diagrams, which, when read rapidly in sequence, provide a convincing illusion of life and movement. The bulk of the work is supported by fold-out instructions, an index, paper cut-outs, and a brief apology, all of which concrete to form a rich portrait of a man stunted by a paralyzing fear of being disliked.

现代主义漫画~

谁看明白了给我讲讲，他下了飞机不是给他爸从后背给开了一刀了，怎么第二天屁事没有就好了呢。。。。。

谁看明白了给我讲讲，他下了飞机不是给他爸从后背给开了一刀了，怎么第二天屁事没有就好了呢。。。。。

跳楼的超人，杂志剪纸游戏，梦境与庞大历史叙事，核心却是极其细腻阴郁的现实主义，一个从死亡到失去，一个从寻觅到死亡，祖孙两辈各自琐碎的心理历程。叙事语言满分，与现实反差效果显著，也道是个人史诗的一种新形式，然而总感觉一波又一波的形式感信息堆砌有点浮于表面，最大的优点也是它最大的缺点

膜拜，文学性真强，不好接受呀
