All the Cameras in My Room - Michael DeForge

26.99 €

Razor-sharp short stories from the greatest contemporary comics stylist. Michael DeForge has been dissecting the comics visual language for more than a decade and continues his creative winning streak with his tenth book for D&Q and second collection of short stories, All the Cameras in My Room. The prolific cartoonist s hilarious and horny approach to comics fiction never disappoints. In 'Figure Skating,' a star athlete s impossible feats captivate the world, turning a simple skater s rotation into a catalyst for national paralysis. While in 'Holiday Special,' a narrator tells us about his favorite Christian holiday special that bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain bald-headed-boy-and-his-dog classic. No matter the conceit, characters in All the Cameras in My Room stretch and flatten and spiral around each other and burrow deep into the folds of a reader s brain. Deforge s stories break down how we consume pop culture, interrogate our relationship to star power and recontextualize our nostalgia into a shared mythology, cementing his place as the most consistent and beguiling cartoonist working today.
