Join us for our monthly Sunday comics book club, meeting in the Port Orchard Marketplace. For September, we're reading "Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth " by Chris Ware.--Book Description--
Jimmy Corrigan has rightly been hailed as the greatest graphic novel ever to be published. It won the Guardian First Book Award 2001, the first graphic novel to win a major British literary prize.
An improvisatory romance which gingerly deports itself between 1890's Chicago and 1980's small town Michigan, the reader is helped along by thousands of colored illustrations and diagrams, which, when read rapidly in sequence, provide a convincing illusion of life and movement. The bulk of the work is supported by fold-out instructions, an index, paper cut-outs, and a brief apology, all of which concrete to form a rich portrait of a man stunted by a paralyzing fear of being disliked.
Content Warnings: Child abuse, Domestic abuse, Physical abuse, Grief, Misogyny, Death of parent
