Reading Lessons in Seeing: Mirrors, Masks, and Mazes in the Autobiographical Graphic Novel

by Michael A. Chaney

Book Overview

Literary scholar Michael A. Chaney examines graphic novels to illustrate that in form and function they inform readers on how they ought to be read. His arguments result in an innovative analysis of the various knowledges that comics produce and the methods artists and writers employ to convey them. Theoretically eclectic, this study attends to the lessons taught by both the form and content of today's most celebrated graphic novels.
