About This Book

A self-satisfied architect's apartment burns down and he reinvents himself in a small American town, confronting the marriage he destroyed. David Mazzucchelli's magnum opus uses colour, typography, and drawing style as elements of character—one of the most formally inventive graphic novels ever made.
