Blurry

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST GRAPHIC NOVELS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE WASHINGTON POST, LITERARY HUB, AND FORBESA warm and quietly inventive new graphic novel about a group of characters whose lives interconnect in subtle, often unseen waysand the seemingly mundane choices that bring them together or draw them apart. A man cant decide between two dress shirts for a wedding. A woman questions the style of her new glasses. A teacher considers quitting teaching. A figure-drawing model considers quitting modeling. A man drives into a fog bank and is unsure how to get home. From Dash Shaw, cartoonist of one of the New York Times Best Comics of 2021, comes a new graphic novel, Blurry. In Blurry, Shaw renders doubts around everyday decisions as startling cliffhangers, presenting us with the kinds of choices that can make a life expand or contract in equal measure. Drawn in clear lines and washes, Shaw captures the humor and anxiety of life in a one-of-a-kind structure that bends back to a thrilling, lyrical finish. Blurry is more evidence that Shaw is one of our greatest contemporary cartoonists.
