In The Shadow of No Towers

Very excited to be able to buy In the Shadow of No Towers yesterday. I paid the full 20 quid but speed seemed to matter more than money. One of the plates refers to how 'now in September 2004' the Republican convention is coming to New York, which was a bit spooky until I realised the copyright date he'd written on was 27th-31st August 2003 rather than 2004. I couldn't see how he could have been working on the art last week and I could be holding the book today.

It's not a coherent narrative like Maus, but that seems appropriate since it's about the particular kind of mental instability he's been suffering since 9/11. It's definitely a must-read.
