1st printing. By Jon J. Muth and John Kuramoto. This adaptation of a Chinese folktale begins with a man's dissatisfaction with his life. Weary of being a stonecutter, he becomes many things in his quest for authority, each time finding that greater power lies elsewhere. Rooted in Taoist principles, Stonecutter is an exquisite tale about self-acceptance. Originally published in a small, limited edition fifteen years ago, Jon J. Muth republishes the story because 'Certain stories leave you with more than when they found you. They shed light on something, or unknot something for you, or offer some insight. At least they do for me. Stonecutter is one such story.' This inspiring tale pushes the boundaries and possibilities of graphic literature, and is now available for a new audience. Hardcover, 4 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., B&W. NOTE: May or may NOT include cover sash. Cover price $14.99.
