From the beginning, Chris Ware: Conversations distinguishes itself by filling a gap in comics scholarship by focusing on oeuvre rather than on individual texts. Braithwaites's careful selection not only ensures that hard-to-find early interviews are not lost in time, but also showcases a wide range of interviews--academic and public, live and virtual--that Ware has given since the publication of Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid of Earth. With interest in Ware's work on the rise, this book could not have come at a better time.--Lindsay Harper Cannon Studies in 20th and 21st Century Literature If there is one thing that these interviews, and Chris Ware through them, shows us, it is that we have as good a chance, or better, of understanding the artist through their works.--Christopher Smith ImageTexT
