● 內文簡介

This new edition presents Seth's first book in it's definitive form, collecting the extensive, beautifully illustrated storyline from his popular comic book series PALOOKAVILLE. Here, he vividly recounts his search for meaning in the life and work of kalo, a forgotten gag-cartoonist of the 1940's and '50's This compulsive task takes him through stacks of crumbling books and maga3ines in the hope of finding ,and ultimately holding onto, a piece of the past. With this remarkable novella, Seth had demonstrated the power of comics as a narrative form. The story unfolds slowly. Opening win- dows onto haunting scenes of old factories. Remote towns, and distant train routes; taking us back ,on a voyage across both distance and time.
