Like so many before me, I was greatly disappointed by this disjointed graphic … novel? It held promise. Such promise was, alas, dashed. ⭐️⭐️ because promise ain’t nothin’. ( ) I expected a much more avant-garde graphic novel that what I got; a fairly standard formatted graphic novel with some philosophical discussion, meta inter-textual interplay, and an extremely abrupt ending (that I actually liked). For something advertised as "play[ing] with the graphic medium," I expected a lot of interesting formatting and interplay between the images and text, and instead got a graphic novel that sometimes (once, I think) switched to prose. Some of the stories, in particular the quasi-Pinocchio encounter and the fly leading to the bird to the spider to the pig to the farmer and his wife, were really interesting and thought-provoking (I very much appreciated that the emotion conveyed by the latter story was without words, and that Pinocchio was a coward but his refusal to accept the truth turned him into the furthest thing he wanted to be), and I enjoyed the story of Marigold. I was just expecting more. The ending was a little groan-worthy with the self-insertion, but the abruptness of him leaving the Librarian, with all his loneliness and unhappiness, mid-sentence was somehow fitting. A man inhabits a mystical library where the stories come to life, but not always quite as you'd expect. This book seemed neat as a concept. The art work is fantastic, including the cover art designed to look an old-fashioned library card record. The story itself is rather slight and intentionally vague/open-ended. To me, it came off as a bit overly pretentious, as if it is trying very hard to be high-art literature (but not quite making it). Reading it wasn't exactly enjoyable, although it wasn't exactly not enjoyable either. I'm not sure I'd recommend it, except for a very specific audience who likes books about books, fractured fairytales, etc. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Welcome to the Library. It's here that every story ever written is catalogued and monitored by a single man, who's begun to notice something strange: the books are rebelling. Image Comics proudly presents this experimental graphic novella from writer W. Maxwell Prince and artist John Amor, which recounts a troublesome week in the Library via seven short stories one for each day that use comics, infographics, prose, and poetry to play with the graphic medium and explore the multivalent world of living narrative.
