I remember ‘the Stranger’ awarded Jim Woodring as a ‘genius of literature’ in 2010. At the time I was very excited a ‘genius of literature’ was at work nearby in Seattle and immediately went to check out this book.
I was attracted to how the ‘universe of Frank’ seemed so complex & detailed & strange but remained stylistically cohesive – I think I’ve described it as ‘hallucinatory’ without further explanation a couple times in conversation. I enjoyed how the characters and the world around them appeared and behaved in ways that seemed incomprehensible then horribly or delightfully relatable.
I will probably enjoy looking at the pages of this book periodically in the future.
