Description

Ex Libris by Matt Madden is a thought-provoking exploration of meta-fiction and the power of storytelling. Trapped in a room with only a futon and a bookcase, the protagonist becomes obsessed with uncovering hidden messages within the pages of comics. As they delve deeper into the stories, reality and sanity begin to blur, leading them on a quest to find the key to their predicament. Madden's inventive visual and narrative styles weave together in a dizzying array of creative expression. This book is a tribute to the meta-fictional tradition of writers such as Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, Vladimir Nabokov, and Italo Calvino. Matt Madden is a cartoonist, teacher, and translator, best known for his previous work on 99 Ways to Tell a Story: Exercises in Style. With its unique blend of comics and literary exploration, Ex Libris offers a fascinating read for anyone interested in the intersection of art and storytelling.
