Description
Presented as an intricately assembled boxed set of books, newspapers, broadsheets, and flip books, this groundbreaking graphic novel follows the residents of a Chicago brownstone whose intersecting lives unfold across time. At its center is an unnamed woman and aspiring artist navigating disability, loneliness, relationships, motherhood, and the elusive search for meaning, alongside neighbors facing their own private disappointments and desires. Through richly detailed artwork, nonlinear storytelling, and connections hidden in even the smallest moments, the work explores loss, memory, identity, chance, and the impossibility of fully knowing another person. Decades in the making, it is an ambitious, deeply human portrait of ordinary lives and the stories—fragmented, unfinished, and interconnected—that give them shape.
