Monologues for Calculating the Destiny of Black Holes

Sobre el libro Monologues for Calculating the Destiny of Black Holes de Anders Nilsen publicado por Fantagraphics al 2009:

Monologues for Calculating the Density of Black Holes takes up where the artist´s first volume, Monologues for the Coming Plague, left off. Like the Coming Plague, Black Holes is a creatively experimental laboratory, comprising a collection of free flowing stream-of-consciousness gags, strips, and drawings that slowly coalesce into an unexpectedly compelling and complex narrative. The hints of story that came together in Coming Plague are extrapolated and expanded upon and grow to incorporate some of Nilsen´s other outre strips from the anthology MOME, two of which are reprinted here in expanded form. The book is an audacious investigation into the rhythms of storytelling, the blurring of media, and an exercise in reconciling contrasts. It is playful, provocative and serious all at once—another tour de force by Anders Nilsen, impeccably and uniquely designed, in black and white and color.
