We’re finishing up the FLASHED: SUDDEN STORIES IN PROSE
AND COMICS manuscipt and it's in the process of being designed. It’s quite
something to see a manuscript that you’ve been working on for two plus years
come together. It feels like a book now, a unique project with a voice of its
own, a sense of humor, and something to add to the ongoing investigation into
narrative forms (not to be too academic). It makes me so happy to see such fine prose writers and such fine cartoonists rubbing shoulders and bouncing ideas off of each other on
the page. I just read this in The New York Times Magazine, in an article on the brain, "...an idea dating back as far as Plato and Aristotle, that meaning emerges from the links between things..." and I thought, yes, right. Meaning emerges from links between things. That is what we were trying for.
I can’t show any of the design yet, as its still in
prototype stage, but at least I can show the title page of Josh’s early
mock-up...
