Anders Nilsen was born in New Hampshire and now lives in Chicago. He has a BFA in painting and illustration from the University of NewMexico in Albuquerque. He is the author of Dogs and Water and Don't Go Where I Can't Follow.
A haunting postmodern fable, Big Questions is the magnum opus of Anders Nilsen, one of the brightest and most talented young cartoonists working today. This beautiful minimalist story, collected here for the first time, is the culmination of ten years and more than six hundred pages of work that details the metaphysical quandaries of the occupants of an endless plain, existing somewhere between a dream and a Russian steppe. A downed plane is thought to be a bird and the unexploded bomb that came from it is mistaken for a giant egg by the group of birds whose lives the story follows. The indifferent, stranded pilot is of great interest to the birds—some doggedly seek his approval, while others do quite the opposite, leading to tensions in the group. Nilsen seamlessly moves from humor to heartbreak. His distinctive, detailed line work is paired with plentiful white space and large, often frameless panels, conveying an ineffable sense of vulnerability and openness.
Big Questions has roots in classic fables—the birds and snakes have more to say than their human counterparts, and there are hints of the hero’s journey, but here the easy moral that closes most fables is left open and ambiguous. Rather than lending its world meaning, Nilsen’s parable lets the questions wander where they will.

《大問題》(漫畫)入手,英文原版(定價45美元)和後浪中文版(定價198元,實際可以半價買到)對比。後浪版較薄,紙質較軟,比英文版大一圈,就手感來說我更喜歡後浪版,英文版拿著很硬,結實,但翻閱不舒適。除此之外兩者的差異:英文版封麵綫條做瞭燙銀處理,有凹凸感,較有...

不要被封麵和開頭有趣的動物對話欺騙瞭……作者可能是因為畫瞭十五年越畫越絕望,最後決定報復社會瞭……
評分十足過譽。看瞭兩節,看不到任何想象力,剛看這本的風格時自然而然期待的那種孩童時期隨手塗鴉的那種恣肆、任性都沒有。翻遍全書,充滿界限感,連試著去戳一下玩弄一下現成規則的意思都沒有
