Poignant yet captivating. (  ) zeh | Jun 3, 2023 |  Storia di rara cupezza e disperazione, raccontata in maniera oggettiva ma non distaccata e con grande approfondimento contestuale e storico (soprattutto nei salti nel passato). Il disegno di Ware è unico per la cura e l'attenzione dei dettagli. Proprio in relazione a questi ultimi, una nota idealmente rivolta all'editore (forse anche all'autore, in quanto non conosco l'edizione originale): sarebbe stato bello poter leggere il libro in un formato un po' più grande. (  ) d.v. | May 16, 2023 | This first book from Chicago author Chris Ware is a pleasantly-decorated view at a lonely and emotionally-impaired "everyman" (Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth), who is provided, at age 36, the opportunity to meet his father for the first time. An improvisatory romance which gingerly deports itself between 1890's Chicago and 1980's small town Michigan, the reader is helped along by thousands of colored illustrations and diagrams, which, when read rapidly in sequence, provide a convincing illusion of life and movement. The bulk of the work is supported by fold-out instructions, an index, paper cut-outs, and a brief apology, all of which concrete to form a rich portrait of a man stunted by a paralyzing fear of being disliked. petervanbeveren | Feb 18, 2023 | An adult story about a man, abused by his father as a child, growing up to become a very dysfunctional person. Picked it up at the store mainly because (a) it was different (all comic strip style) and (b) used copies on the internet were very expensive. I didn't care for it that much. Kept getting confused between the historical family and the contemporary family, because of flashbacks. Some adult themes, so not a book for kids. Some of the dialogue was written in a very small font and was very hard to read. (  ) MarkLacy | May 29, 2022 | Sometimes you come across a recommendation that wasn't positive at all but it sounds so intriguing you can't help yourself. That was the case with this book. The booktuber who talked about this book couldn't read on because it disturbed her. And weirdly enough that made me want to check it out. Even though I do the same thing... So I carried on reading the reviews... Best thing ever. A story that evoke such strong emotions.. Both negative and positive is one I must read. Now I'm hoping I will finish it...

 Some will find Jimmy Corrigan slow and depressing; they will be wrong. It is thrilling, moving, profoundly sympathetic — and it is the most beautiful-looking book of the year. In Ware's world, lost boys grow up (or fail to do so), turning into lost men. Grey waves of depression cascade endlessly down though lost generations. No feel- good endings here: what prevents the bleakness of Ware's vision from overwhelming the reader in a flood of cosmic pessimism is the sheer craftsmanship, imagination, inventiveness and compassion with which it is realised. While so many similar projects are little more than strings of striking images, Jimmy Corrigan forces you to pause, flick back a few pages and read again, rewarding you with another insight, another overdue connection. It is a rare and uplifting example of an artistic vision pushed to the limits. Pertenece a las seriesThe Acme Novelty Library (5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14) Pertenece a las series editoriales
Jimmy es calvo prematuro y está algo pasado de peso. A la mitad de sus treinta, con frecuencia lo confunden con un anciano enfermizo. Sufre de timidez patológica y dependencia edípica. Acaba de recibir en su cubículo anónimo de una oficina gris una nota que dice: "me he sentado frente a ti durante seis meses y no te has fijado en mí ni una sola vez, adiós". Jimmy mira por la ventana y ve a un tipo vestido de superhéroe arrojarse desde la azotea de un edificio vecino. Los consiguientes dibujos minuciosos no nos ahorran el cuerpo estrellado contra el asfalto, el corrillo de curiosos ni la sensación de que ese suicida era el ignorado compañero de oficina... Se nos advierte de entrada que en el desarrollo de la narración no tendrán cabida los superhéroes altisonantes, pues éstos deben ceder lo que consideraban su destino manifiesto a unos seres corrientes que han de enfrentarse a aventuras prosaicas y simples que se irán complicando poco a poco.
