From one of the great comic innovators, the long-awaited
fulfillment of his pioneering comic vision.
Richard McGuire's "Here" is the story of a corner of a room and the
events that happened in that space while moving forward and
backward in time. The book experiments with formal properties of
comics, using multiple panels to convey the different moments in
time. Hundreds of thousands of years become interwoven. A dinosaur
from 100,000,000 BCE lumbers by, while a child is playing with a
plastic toy that resembles the same dinosaur in the year 1999.
Conversations appear to be happening between two people who are
centuries apart. Someone asking, "Anyone seen my car keys?" can be
"answered" by someone at a future archaeology dig. Cycles of
glaciers transform into marshes, then into forests, then into
farmland. A city develops and grows into a suburban sprawl. Future
climate changes cause the land to submerge, if only temporarily,
for the long view reveals the transient nature of all things.
Meanwhile, the attention is focused on the most ordinary moments
and appreciating them as the most transcendent.
(With full-color illustrations throughout.)
The Republic of Ireland left the British Commonwealth in 1949. It
was traditionally overlooked by developing trends of Commonwealth
literary studies from the 1960s, which tended to examine the
cultural production of countries still under Commonwealth rule.
From the late 1960s onwards, however, scholars of Irish literature
and indeed across postcolonial studies have examined Ireland's
unique and comparative literary, historical, cultural and
geographical features in relation to the contexts of broader
postcolonial debates. To date, nonetheless, there has yet to be a
dedicated comparative study of how the specific genre of the Irish
novel developed throughout the twentieth century as a means of
giving imaginative expression to particular decolonizing processes
in Ireland as it disengaged from the dominant discourses of British
colonial rule. Ireland's history is clearly different from that of
the former colonies of the British West Indies. Richard McGuire
takes this point into account, and in Parallel Visions, Confluent
Worlds he investigates how extensively the Irish novel,
particularly from the 1920s, expresses forms and themes recognized
by many scholars and critics to be key postcolonial concerns in
West Indian novels of the same period. The British West Indies
serves as a strong suitable comparative case for examination, since
it has such an established wealth of study in relation to its
postcolonial dimensions. This book compares five pairings of Irish
and Caribbean texts that explore issues such as evolving
representations of "native" peoples, late-colonial anxiety, the
subversive power of women in a patriarchal-imperialist society.
Migration, and the experience of growing up amid anti-colonial
violence.

Here is Richard McGuire's unique graphic novel based on the
legendary 1989 comic strip of the same name. Richard McGuire's
groundbreaking comic strip Here was published under Art
Spiegelman's editorship at RAW in 1989. Built in six pages of
interlocking panels, dated by year, it collapsed time and space to
tell the story of the corner of a room - and its inhabitants -
between the years 500,957,406,073 BC and 2033 AD. The strip remains
one of the most influential and widely discussed contributions to
the medium, and it has now been developed, expanded and reimagined
by the artist into this full-length, full-colour graphic novel - a
must for any fan of the genre. 'From now on, McGuire will be known
as the author of the novel Here, because it's a work of literature
and art unlike any seen or read before. A book like this comes
along once a decade, if not a century' Chris Ware, Guardian
'Promises to leapfrog immediately to the front ranks of the
graphic-novel genre' New York Times Richard McGuire is a regular
contributor to the New Yorker magazine. He has written and
illustrated both children's books and experimental comics. His work
has appeared in The New York Times, McSweeney's, Le Monde and
Liberation. He has written and directed two omnibus feature films,
designed and manufactured his own line of toys, and is also the
founder and bass player of the band Liquid Liquid.
