## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Shows you what a graphic novel can achieve!
  

*by D***H on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2019*

I purchased this after reading a review in the Times Book review of Seth's latest work and I have to say that this book was much more than I initially thought that it was going to be. More of a thoughtful meditation on the past and exactly what memory achieves, I was extremely impressed with Seth's dialogue and plot. Seth is the main character of the story and he is a cartoonist who is intrigued by another artist's work that he discovers in an old issue of The New Yorker. Part detective story, Seth is compelled to find out as much as he can about the artist, even going so far as interviewing the man's daughter and his mother.  Searching for something that he can't quite put his finger on, Seth obviously sees the other man as a reflection of self and as he searches for answers, he continues to look within at his own life. The depth of the issues examined in this graphic novel really surprised me and I must say that I am intrigued in reading more of the author's work.  I really enjoyed how Seth captured his home town and using simple illustrations showed the passage of time as he looks for answers for some difficult questions. Warning: This comic make actually cause you to think, so be warned. A highly commendable book.

    In Search of the Real Seth
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2009*

I'm glad I got to read this graphic novella by Seth as the third work and not the first which I believe many have done.  This graphic work does much to explain the later oeuvre of Seth's body of work.  I realize that every fiction novelist writes into their novels their own life experiences.  Seth goes beyond these normal limitations; he actually creates a fictionalized autobiography with himself as the main character of the story.  The complete story is set on Seth's obsession with the recent past that being in the time frame from the 1930's to the 1960's.  He grudgedly puts himself in the present time set.  I must believe that Seth is fixated with this historical time frame and insists on frequently visiting it.  Also we find out about Seth's fanaticism of all cartoonists and his absolute adoration of the New Yorker magazine. In reality this novella would serve as a manual for a psychiatrist to search the mind of one's desires, ambitions and the meaning of life.  Well the meaning of life according to Seth.  Just remember Seth intersperses real people such as Peter Arno and Charles Schulz along the likes of his fictional character of constant search in this story named Kalo.  Seth bares all in this book which explains his later writings of "Clyde's Fans" and "George Sprott". This is indeed a new way of utilizing the graphic novel format.  Although I enjoyed his later works more than this work, it does serve as a basis of just who Seth really is.  Five Stars!!  No Problem!!!

    Glad I have my own copy, yet...
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024*

Would have been five stars except for being printed on pale pink paper. Loses the subtlety of the original coloring.
