AN ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL FROM THE OSCAR-NOMINATED SCREENWRITER AND AWARD-WINNING CARTOONIST Meet Wilson, an opinionated middle-aged loner who loves his dog and quite possibly no one else. In an ongoing quest to find human connection, he badgers friend and stranger alike into a series of onesided conversations, punctuating his own lofty discursions with a brutally honest, self-negating sense of humor.

Produktbeschreibung
AN ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL FROM THE OSCAR-NOMINATED SCREENWRITER AND AWARD-WINNING CARTOONIST Meet Wilson, an opinionated middle-aged loner who loves his dog and quite possibly no one else. In an ongoing quest to find human connection, he badgers friend and stranger alike into a series of onesided conversations, punctuating his own lofty discursions with a brutally honest, self-negating sense of humor. After his father dies, Wilson, now irrevocably alone, sets out to find his ex-wife with the hope of rekindling their long-dead relationship, and discovers he has a teenage daughter, born after the marriage ended and given up for adoption.Wilson eventually forces all three to reconnect as a family-a doomed mission that will surely, inevitably backfire. In the first all-new graphic novel from one of the leading cartoonists of our time, Daniel Clowes creates a thoroughly engaging, complex, and fascinating portrait of the modern egoist-outspoken and oblivious to the world around him.Working in a single-page-gag format and drawing in a spectrumof styles, the cartoonist of GhostWorld, Ice Haven, and David Boring gives us his funniest and most deeply affecting novel to date.

Wilson
Er ist ein Ekel, dieser Wilson! Ein Egomane und Misanthrop, der gerne penetrant auf Fremde einquatscht, um sie dann zu beleidigen. Wen er gar nicht leiden mag, dem schickt er ein Paket voll Hundekot. Er ist aber auch ein armer Kerl. Und ein Clown, über dessen Spaße und Missgeschicke man lachen muss - nicht zufallig sieht Wilson aus wie ein Halbbruder von Woody Allen.
Daniel Clowes (*1961) zählt mit seinen abgründigen, oft von David Lynch beeinflussten Arbeiten seit rund 20 Jahren zu den wichtigsten Vertretern der amerikanischen Independent-Comic-Szene. Er arbeitet auch als Illustrator und Drehbuchautor. Seine Graphic Novel "Ghost World" wurde 2001 verfilmt.
