A nameless character. A faceless figure. A disturbing,
thought-provoking journey through the facts of the world we live in
that we often refuse to acknowledge. By taking full advantage of
their author's lack of identity and extreme levels of
introspection, The Unwords unleash a full scale attack on all
fronts of cultural and social decay. Education, religion, politics,
language, relationships and common every day social activities are
stripped down to their bare foundations and deconstructed through
the eyes of a man who has rejected any notion of self in his quest
for truth and justice. Written in fluent poetic verse which expands
into full-page illustrations that carry the theme into artistic
territory, the words blend seamlessly with the arts as they form
novel-like chapters; a new, refreshing form of writing known as
"Graphic-verse." Originally published in 2012, The Unwords
introduced Graphic-verse to the public and readers quickly embraced
this newly created genre, eventually becoming a Goodreads Choice
Awards Finalist that year, the first ever book to be nominated in
the history of Goodreads that didn't have an identifiable author.
This expanded second edition of The Unwords features 35 pages of
additional material, including 54 full color illustrations as well
as an introduction by the author himself, revealing his entire
creative process, his influences, as well as his motivations and
the reasoning behind the book's unusual structure. Words are meant
to be spoken. In a dishonest world, what remains unspoken can only
be the truth. In a dishonest world... the pen is never mightier
than the sword
