Bok av Michael DeForge
Michael DeForge refigures the portrait of a fading artist through his unique mockumentary-esque lens replacing art with delinquency to make this well-worn trope immensely fresh. It is not hard to see echoes of DeForge's own experience as one of comics' enfants terribles and subsequent transition into established star in the character of Ms. D, which makes this a kind of art comics Citizen Kane. This is our first sustained narrative from DeForge after a sequence of successful short story collections.
