In Chris Ware's own words, 'Building Stories follows the inhabitants of a three-flat Chicago apartment house: a thirty-year-old woman who has yet to find someone with whom to spend the rest of her life; a couple who wonder if they can bear each other's company for another minute; and finally an elderly woman who never married and is the building's landlady...'
The scope, the ambition, the artistry and emotional heft of this project are beyond anything even Chris Ware has achieved before.
You've devoured Fifty Shades . . . Now wrap yourself up in Wild Silk.
Merran Faulkner inherits her eccentric uncle's fortune, but there's one condition: as a world-famous explorer, it was his dying wish that she should travel to South America to search for a lost Inca treasure. Certainly not something the sheltered heiress had in mind for her next vacation.
But as Merran treks her way through the jungle, her uncle's artefact isn't her only new discovery. Meeting the mysterious Don Miguel, Merran's Amazonian adventure becomes so much more than her uncle's will ever entailed. And as Merran gets to know Don, with his temptingly exotic ways, suddenly the wild side she's tried so desperately hard to hide wants to come out and play . . .
