99 Ways To Tell A Story - Exercises In Style
Matt Madden. Jonathan Cape, 2006. Matt Madden's Exercises in Style is a series of one-page comics that tell the same story in a variety of ways. Inspired by Raymond Queneau's 1947 work of the same title, which told a simple story in ninety-nine different styles and genres – haiku, sonnet, book-jacket blurb – Madden does the same but in different styles of comics – Marvel superhero, R. Crumb, Hergé, even as a map or the Bayeux Tapestry. Or he uses varying points of view, visual and verbal parodies, even radical reshuffling of the elements of the story. The result is funny, inspiring, and genuinely clever. 206 pages. Soft Cover Black & White 7½" x 9" (190mm x 229mm) ISBN: 0224079255

Our Price: £12.99 ($19.49) (€14,29)
