Descriptions, Reviews, etc.

Description: From Academy Award nominee Clowes, author of "Ghost World, " comes this graphic novel--a fragmented slice of life and surrealistic fantasy about luckless, 19-year-old David Boring. Illustrations throughout, some in color.

Review Quotes: "Boring finds love with a mysterious woman named Wanda, loses her and sort of finds her again. He also gets shot in the head (twice) and stranded on an island with his brutish family. Meanwhile, the world may or may not be ending soon. And did I mention that much of this is hilariously funny?" --Time

"It's impossible to write about Daniel Clowes's work without using the word "ennui." But his is a joyous ennui, if such a thing is possible, one that relishes the boredom of everyday life with a Zen enthusiasm. . . Clowes finds little miracles everywhere he looks--so many, in fact, that they seem hardly to interest him. This detachment perversely makes David Boring deeply compelling and worthy of serious attention from fans and newcomers alike."
--Rob Lightner

"[A] serious and innovative work, and it's never boring."
--Publisher's Weekly
