Dead Memory

Rating:
Summary: Brilliance in Black & White
Review: This book is not so much a "graphic novel" as a brillianty drawn critique of architecture and systems of urban control. The text comments on notions of building, planning, organizations, and memory. The ludicrousness of the committees and governing bodies is particularly satisfying. I would've preferred more of a resolution to the actual events of the story, but how can one complain when the drawings themselves are so thoroughly excellent. The sequential zooming in scale, the architectural imagaination, the machine for cutting roads and the letters falling like snow, make this book a most pleasing purchase.
