Description Concering Books George Sprott, 1894-1975
First serialized in The New York Times Magazine “Funny Pages”
The celebrated cartoonist and New Yorker illustrator Seth weaves the fictional tale of George Sprott, the host of a long-running television program. The events forming the patchwork of George’s life are pieced together from the tenuous memories of several informants, who often have contradictory impressions. His estranged daughter describes the man as an unforgivable lout, whereas his niece remembers him fondly. His former assistant recalls a trip to the Arctic during which George abandoned him for two months, while George himself remembers that trip as the time he began writing letters to a former love, from whom he never received replies.

I think the conception of this is awesome. Having just read Building Stories by his close friend and mentor Chris Ware, I see a conversation across texts. Both are works that look to explode story representation, in various ways. We have this large book format from Seth (as with Ware and his box of variously formatted books and magazines and posters in Building Stories), as he tries to capture a mundane (not an exciting or famous or "important" life [as Ware does with his three women in BuildingMan alive, I love Seth but what was this?! "It's A Good Life If You Won't Weaken" was brilliant as was "Clyde Fans", while "Wimbledon Green" was a small masterwork. In fact it's from "Wimbledon Green" that he bases most of his new book "George Sprott" on (there's even one panel which I'm sure was in the endpapers of "Wimbledon Green" reproduced here). It's a similar fictional biography told in part by the subject, part by an omniscient narrator and part by people who knew him. Here's the story
I love Seths art and I really enjoyed the way this story was told.
The book is oversized, and the story is reflective of Seth's other work, but oversized as well, on a larger scale and more explicitly delineating the themes that run through everything he does. This originally ran as a weekly comic in the New York Times Magazine, and each page can be read separately, but they form into a longer story. Interspersed are photos of the intricate cardboard constructions he made of the buildings that appear in the story. Filled with nostalgia, loneliness, shades of
That book is actually bad.

This book is really pretty, and it smells very nice. Yeah, so sometimes I sniff the books that I read, yeah it's a little weird, but with this book you can't help missing the smell, it's just so goddamn big that the smell hits you, it's a good smell of ink and paper though (some books don't smell nice, and I'm not talking about stinky mildew infested used ones, but some new books just smell like shit). And because the book is so fucking big reading it made me feel like a little kid sitting and
