Product Description:
My Favorite Thing Is Monsters is a murder mystery, a family drama, a sweeping historical epic, and a psychological thriller about monsters, real and imagined. Set against the political backdrop of late '60s Chicago, Karen Reyes tries to solve the murder of her enigmatic upstairs neighbor. Rendered in a kaleidoscopically visual style, Emil Ferris' draftsmanship echoes the drawing of Otto Dix, George Grosz, and Robert Crumb. This is a revelatory work of striking originality and will undoubtedly be greeted as the debut graphic novel of the year.

Full-color illustrations throughout.Review"Drawn with Bic pen on lined notebook paper, this moody and ravishing graphic novel takes the form of a sketchbook diary. Growing up in Chicago in the 1960s, 10-year-old Karen Reyes investigates the suspicious death of her glamorous neighbor and finds troubling clues lurking close to her own home. An eerie masterpiece of the monsters around and within us."- The New York Times - Critics' Pick"My Favorite Thing Is Monsters is not only Ferris's first graphic novel but also her first published work. . Yet her mastery of comics, her pyrotechnic drawings, and her nested narratives are already placing her among the greatest practitioners of the form."- The New Yorker"This extraordinary book has instantly rocketed Ferris into the graphic novel elite alongside Art Spiegelman, Alison Bechdel and Chris Ware. You see, she's produced something rare, a page-turning story whose pages are so brilliantly drawn you don't want to turn them."- Terry Gross, NPR: Fresh Air"A thrilling and surprisingly profound novel . The book is a fine balance of stunning artwork and terrific writing."- Chicago Tribune"One of the most profound, ambitious and accomplished creative works to appear in any medium this decade. . Rarely have words and pictures worked together so seamlessly in service of such a complex narrative."- Forbes"The novel tackles race, gender, and what it means to be 'monstrous' in big and small ways. It could not be more relevant to today's climate."- Mother Jones"No one has ever made a comic like Emil Ferris's assured, superhumanly ambitious two-part debut graphic novel My Favorite Thing Is Monsters. . It threatens not merely to exceed established standards of excellence, but to set new ones."- The Guardian"An ambitious, emotional, beautifully illustrated exploration of a 10-year-old girl's experience growing up late '60s Chicago, My Favorite Thing Is Monsters is an astounding debut, weaving an intricate web of plot threads that keeps the reader compelled from beginning to end."- The A.V. Club"An extraordinary literary experience that tackles questions of racial, sexual, cultural, professional, and class identity with aplomb and aesthetic glory. Welcome to the canon, Ms. Ferris."- Vulture"Each page of the book is a small masterpiece: detailed, passionate, leaking genius. Ferris's artwork bullies and commands the reader's attention, each page bringing her to the brink of exhaustion because the struggle between art and words is so great, and the whole is so sensorially overwhelming."- The Los Angeles Review of Books"A graphic novel so immersive it feels almost four dimensional. A fantastical, densely cross-hatched world of Nazis and mobsters and neighborhood eccentrics, seen through the curious eyes of a 10-year-old girl."- Entertainment Weekly"My Favorite Thing Is Monsters feels to me like a once-in-a-generation debut - a vision so clear and original that it will change the course of cartooning."- The Seattle Review of Books"Emil Ferris is one of the most important comics artists of our time."- Art Spiegelman"Ferris' artwork is astonishing, cross-hatching images upon images, creating a tome that feels homespun but looks consummately professional. This is an emotional,". Codice articolo BKZN9781606999592
