Gloriana
Published by Drawn and Quarterly

$19.95
"In Gloriana, Kevin Huizenga exposes the mechanics that underpin
everyday life. His protagonist, Glenn Ganges, has conversations about
dish soap and library visits that are both faithful depictions of
mundane interactions and existential dissections of the units that
construct our lives. Huizenga has an understated, quiet approach to
story writing that allows his characters (and his readers) the
self-awareness to recognize the humor and tragedy of every moment.
Huizenga's
much-lauded work is finely detailed, and in its innovative use of form,
it explores the boundaries of the comic medium, deconstructing and
reconstructing panels to express temporality and lived experience more
fully. Presented in this expanded edition, Gloriana employs familiar
settings and thorough, sometimes scientific explanations to reach
thoughtful conclusions."
