Description: A critical study of the extraordinary Canadian comics creator
Brief description: Daniel Marrone teaches English and visual culture. His work has appeared in Studies in Comics, ImageTexT, and Canadian Review of Comparative Literature, as well as in the anthology The Canadian Alternative: Cartoonists, Comics, and Graphic Novels.
Review Quotes: Marrone offers carefully articulated and significant insights into Seth's work, especially in his comprehensive consideration of all of Seth's major work to date, most of which has received little critical attention. . . . He is not the first to recognize that Seth's interest in the past extends well beyond simple nostalgia, but he is the first to devote extensive attention to a troubling of nostalgia as Seth's defining trait, making instead a case for Seth's complex and transformative engagement with the past.--Dominick Grace, associate professor of English at Brescia University College and coeditor with Eric Hoffman of Dave Sim: Conversations, Chester Brown: Conversations, and Seth: Conversations
