Building Stories by Chris Ware
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
For some perverse reason I actually find comics hard to read, and Chris Wares’ — brilliant though they be — are among the hardest. Building Stories, despite its complicated and aggressively creative packaging, is a wonderful read. It displays Ware’s depth and sensitivity, and the main characters are compelling enough to pull you through the books’ disparate pieces despite Ware’s trademark twists and turns.
