« Razor-sharp short stories from the greatest contemporary comics stylist
Michael DeForge has been dissecting the comics visual language for more than a decade and continues his creative winning streak with his tenth book for D&Q and second collection of short stories, All the Cameras in My Room.
The prolific cartoonist’s hilarious and horny approach to comics fiction never disappoints. In “Figure Skating,” a star athlete’s impossible feats captivate the world, turning a simple skater’s rotation into a catalyst for national paralysis. While in “Holiday Special,” a narrator tells us about his favorite Christian holiday special that bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain bald-headed-boy-and-his-dog classic. No matter the conceit, characters in All the Cameras in My Room stretch and flatten and spiral around each other and burrow deep into the folds of a reader’s brain.
DeForge’s stories break down how we consume pop culture, interrogate our relationship to star power and recontextualize our nostalgia into a shared mythology, cementing his place as the most consistent and beguiling cartoonist working today ».
À propos de l'auteur :
Les récits de Deforge décortiquent notre façon de consommer la culture pop, interrogent notre rapport au culte des stars et replacent notre nostalgie dans une mythologie commune, consolidant ainsi sa place de dessinateur le plus constant et le plus captivant de la scène actuelle.
