Details: When Chris Ware published the graphic novel "Jimmy Corrigan" at the turn of the millennium, it sparked enthusiasm far beyond the confines of the comic world. Since then, the book has been considered a "comic of the century," radically exploiting the expressive possibilities of image and word, thus proving: there is great literature that can only be told as a comic. Jimmy Corrigan is a clumsy and perpetually ailing man in his late thirties, leading an unremarkable existence as an office clerk. His social life is limited to his mother's daily check-up calls – and otherwise takes place in his daydreaming hero fantasies. A letter from his father, who wishes to rekindle their relationship after decades of absence, finally jolts him out of his lethargic daily routine. Over nearly 400 pages, Chris Ware unfolds the multi-generational story of the Corrigan family, reaching back to Chicago in the late 19th century. An epic narrative about a hundred years of solitude – in images of touching depth.
