Wilson

AN ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL FROM THE OSCAR-NOMINATED SCREENWRITER AND AWARD-WINNING CARTOONIST Meet Wilson an opinionated middle-aged loner who loves his dog and quite possibly no one else. In an ongoing quest to find human connection he badgers friend and stranger alike into a series of onesided conversations punctuating his own lofty discursions with a brutally honest self-negating sense of humor. After his father dies Wilson now irrevocably alone sets out to find his ex-wife with the hope of rekindling their long-dead relationship and discovers he has a teenage daughter born after the marriage ended and given up for adoption.Wilson eventually forces all three to reconnect as a family—a doomed mission that will surely inevitably backfire. In the first all-new graphic novel from one of the leading cartoonists of our time Daniel Clowes creates a thoroughly engaging complex and fascinating portrait of the modern egoist—outspoken and oblivious to the world around him.Working in a single-page-gag format and drawing in a spectrumof styles the cartoonist of GhostWorld Ice Haven and David Boring gives us his funniest and most deeply affecting novel to date.
