Building Stories

For a reader who already owns novels and would rather be handed a building.

Oddity 1 is familiar. 5 is genuinely strange.

Chris Ware's graphic novel as a box of fourteen separate pieces: books, pamphlets, a newspaper, a board, and scraps you can lose in a real apartment.

Three reasons

  1. There is no correct order. The box is the book.
  2. The pieces are meant to be set down around a home and forgotten, which is part of the story.
  3. The link is the Pantheon box, ISBN 9780375424335, not a paperback reprint of one of the strips.
