Story and art By Seth.
Celebrated cartoonist and New Yorker cover artist Seth gives us the fictional life of George Sprott.
On the surface George seems a charming, foolish, old man, but who is he? And who was he? Told as a patchwork tale, we come to know George, piece by piece, in a series of "interviews," flashbacks, and personal reminiscences. George Sprott is a story about time, identity, loss, and the persistence of memory.
Though, ultimately, this is the story of a man's death, Seth leavens it with humor and restraint. Originally serialized in The New York Times Magazine, this greatly expanded and remastered-version is George Sprott's first publication as a complete work.
Hardcover, 12-in. x 14-in., 96 pages, 2C.
Cover price $24.99.
