RUSTY BROWN - CHRIS WARE GEBUNDEN

Discover the long-awaited new book from the author of Jimmy Corrigan  the Smartest Kid on Earth
and Building Stories. The perfect gift for graphic novel fans! 'The week after I finished the
last page of Jimmy Corrigan I immediately started a new long story based on characters who had
originated as parodies  but whom now I wanted to humanize... amidst a setting of memories of my
Omaha childhood and Nebraska upbringing.' (Chris Ware  Monograph) Now  twenty years later  Ware
is publishing Rusty Brown in book form. It is  he says  'a fully interactive  full-colour
articulation of the time-space interrelationships of six complete consciousnesses on a single
Midwestern American day and the tiny piece of human grit about which they involuntarily orbit.'
The six characters are Rusty Brown himself  a shy schoolkid obsessed with superheroes  his
father 'Woody' Brown  an eccentric teacher at Rusty's school  Chalky White  another schoolboy 
Alison White  Chalky's sister  Jason Lint  an older boy who bullies Rusty and Chalky and
fancies Alison  and the boys' teacher  Joanne Cole. Ware tells each of their stories in minute
detail (or as he puts it  'From childhood to old age  no frozen plotline is left unthawed') 
producing another masterwork of the comics form that is at once achingly beautiful 
heartbreakingly sad and painfully funny. *A Spectator Book of the Year* 'A treasure trove of
invention... With its awe-inspiring exploration of regret and ageing  anxiety and ennui...
Rusty Brown is a human document of rare richness' Guardian 'Chris Ware is one of the great
writers of our generation...I spent 20 minutes reading the cover of Rusty Brown. Buy it. Buy
all his work. Make your life larger.' Mark Haddon  Observer  'The Best Books of 2019 Picked by
the Year's Best Writers'
