Best Selling Books by Richard McGuire

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • From one of the great comic innovators, the long-awaited fulfillment of a pioneering comic vision: the story of a corner of a room and of the events that have occurred in that space over the course of hundreds of thousands of years. “A book like this comes along once a decade, if not a century…. I guarantee that you’ll remember exactly where you are, or were, when you first read it.” —Chris Ware, The Guardian "In Here McGuire has introduced a third dimension to the flat page. He can poke holes in the space-time continuum simply by imposing frames that act as transu00adtemporal windows into the larger frame that stands for the provisional now. Here is the u00adcomic-book equivalent of a scientific breakthrough. It is also a lovely evocation of the spirit of place, a family drama under the gaze of eternity and a ghost story in which all of us are enlisted to haunt and be haunted in turn.” —The New York Times Book Review With full-color illustrations throughout.

From the author of the widely acclaimed graphic novel Here, awarded the 2016 Prix D''or for best graphic album at Angoulême, a new graphic work that celebrates another aspect of his incomparable genius. Sequential Drawings gathers together more than a decade of McGuire''s witty and endlessly inventive spots—a veritable short-story collection—each drawing given its own spread, which, in turn, assures for the reader the experience of surprise and delight that the drawings unfailingly deliver. Richard McGuire''s first series of "spot" drawings debuted in The New Yorker in February 2005 for the magazine''s 80th anniversary issue. Spot drawings, scattered among the magazine''s text, had been a long-running feature of The New Yorker, and over the years, many artists had contributed them. But McGuire was the first to conceive them as a sequence, and his drawings were something altogether new: deceptively simple images that imbued the series with movement and narrative, telling their own unexpected stories. (In a 3-7/8 x 5-7/8 trim size. With illustrations throughout and an introduction by Luc Sante)

The progress of time is illustrated by a sequence of objects and themes, including stream/river/ocean and street/highway/bridge.

Ecco un albero con 14 succose arance. Una per una, i loro destini si rivelano nelle pagine del libro: la prima è stata portata ad un amico malato, la settima è stata divisa tra compagni di lavoro, la decima è stata mangiata da un famoso pianista. E naturalmente, la quattordicesima è stata comprata da qualcuno che conosci e potrebbe essere la prossima che mangerai. Ogni arancia è una forma arancione su uno sfondo semplice ed essenziale disegnato a matita blu, popolato di personaggi e situazioni di tutti i giorni, su cui risalta creando un collegamento visivo ed espressivo continuo.

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 1980s 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.

En esta novela gráfica que recoge una selección de las viñetas auxiliares publicadas en la legendaria revista The New Yorker , McGuire vuelve a demostrar su originalidad y su virtuosismo. Desde 1925, estas viñetas se han utilizado en The New Yorker para cuadrar las columnas de texto y, hace unos años, la revista empezó a asignar todas las de un número al mismo ilustrador. Pero la composición digital eliminó la necesidad de rellenar espacios, y estos dibujos cobraron mayor valor por derecho propio. Muchos artistas han contribuido a este formato tan característico, pero como ha señalado Luc Santé, Richard McGuire fue el primero, en febrero de 2005, en concebir dichas viñetas como secuencias narrativas, lo que supuso un planteamiento nuevo e innovador: imágenes engañosamente simples que, intercaladas a lo largo de las páginas de la revista, contaban una historia. Por supuesto, en manos de Richard McGuire estas secuencias son siempre una delicia: ingeniosas, sorprendentes y llenas de guiños de un humor finísimo. Reseña: «McGuire posee un don especial para otorgar a los objetos inanimados personalidad propia, y consigue hacerlo con los mínimos medios.» Luc Santé

La edición imprescindible de Aquí, la obra maestra de Richard McGuire, con postfacio de Chris Ware y las primeras páginas publicadas en la revista RAW. En 1989, Richard McGuire publicó en la revista RAW una historieta de seis páginas en blanco y negro titulada "Aquí", en la que narraba la historia del rincón de una habitación y de todo lo ocurrido en ese pequeño espacio a lo largo de miles de años. Aquellas páginas se convirtieronen algunas de las más transformadoras, influyentes y estudiadas del medio. Aquí es la materialización de una visión pionera en el mundo del cómic, a cargo de uno de sus más grandes innovadores autores. Desde su primera publicación en novela gráfica, premiada como la Mejor Obra en el Festival de Angulema 2016, Aquí se ha convertido en una obra histórica del cómic contemporáneo, de las más celebradas y elogiadas de la última década. En 2024 se estrena la película basada en el cómic, dirigida e interpretada por el mismo elenco que Forest Gump. Aquí regresa en la encuadernación original de la novela gráfica, en cartoné y sobrecubierta. La edición ampliada y revisada de aquella historieta seminal, con un postfacio de Chris Ware y las primeras páginas publicadas en la mítica revista RAW. La crítica ha dicho... «Una obra de arte y literatura que no se parece a nada visto o leído hasta ahora [...]. Un libro como éste se da una vez cada década, si no cada siglo. Os garantizo que recordaréis siempre dónde estabais cuando lo leísteis por primera vez.» Chris Ware «Todos los cómics son partituras del tiempo, y el libro de Richard es una sinfonía. Se me ocurren pocos libros que justifiquen plenamente la atípica cuota de interés dedicada a los cómics estos últimos años, pero éste es sin duda uno de ellos.» Art Spiegelman «McGuire tiene un lugar inigualable en mi panteón como uno de los colaboradores más innovadores y con más talento de Raw y The New Yorker. Richard es también un artista de artistas.» Françoise Mouly, editora de arte de The New Yorker y fundadora y coeditora de Raw «Uno de los más apasionantes experimentos de novela gráfica que he visto en mi vida.» Los Angeles Times «El concepto del libro es de una sencillez impactante, y en tanto que revela la universalidad de la existencia #con toda su belleza, fealdad y trivialidad# resulta profundamente conmovedor.» Booklist «Un libro que se situará directamente en la primera fila del género de novela gráfica.» The New York Times
