Rezensionen

"The work embodies the inventive results possible when an adroit theorist explores a burgeoning field. I risk a cliché, although that makes it no less true, in saying: there is much to learn here. I speak especially for those who study comics but suspect the same is true for narratologists more broadly." - Jacob Murel, University of Memphis, Studies in Comics
