Everything you need to read the new graphic novel Building Stories: 14 distinctively discrete Books, Booklets, Magazines, Newspapers, and Pamphlets.
With the increasing electronic incorporeality of existence, sometimes it’s reassuring—perhaps even necessary—to have something to hold on to. Thus within this colorful keepsake box the purchaser will find a fully-apportioned variety of reading material ready to address virtually any imaginable artistic or poetic taste, from the corrosive sarcasm of youth to the sickening earnestness of maturity—while discovering a protagonist wondering if she’ll ever move from the rented close quarters of lonely young adulthood to the mortgaged expanse of love and marriage. Whether you’re feeling alone by yourself or alone with someone else, this book is sure to sympathize with the crushing sense of life wasted, opportunities missed and creative dreams dashed which afflict the middle- and upper-class literary public (and which can return to them in somewhat damaged form during REM sleep).
A pictographic listing of all 14 items (260 pages total) appears on the back, with suggestions made as to appropriate places to set down, forget or completely lose any number of its contents within the walls of an average well-appointed home. As seen in the pages of The New Yorker, The New York Times and McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern, Building Stories collects a decade’s worth of work, with dozens of “never-before-published” pages (i.e., those deemed too obtuse, filthy or just plain incoherent to offer to a respectable periodical).
Winner of the 2013 Eisner Awards for Best Graphic Album-New, Best Lettering, and Best Publication Design. Chris Ware is the winner of 2013 Eisner Award for Best Writer/Artist for Building Stories.

Stories about a handicapped woman who was entirely 100 percent horrifyingly alone
作者使用了很多截然不同的漫画表现格式、方式和手法，可以看出真的是费尽心血。然而超长篇幅又从头丧到尾的平凡生活故事让人看到最后完全失去耐心，Chris Ware的画风乍看很有趣但也容易审美疲劳。觉得他还是适合画单幅的editorial illustration。
买不起又扛不走，可是牛逼的一塌糊涂，让人心痒。
