Comic Novel: Ex Libris by Matt Madden, 2021, 9781941250440.
I enjoyed this. Point of view - narration of the text and of narrator's vision - of a guy who wakes in a mostly bare room remembering almost nothing of why he is there. Just that he has ended up in a cheap room after a failed romantic relationship.
Narrator is having a mental breakdown and unable to deal with his memories. He ends up reading through a bookshelf filled with comics. Madden adopts different artistic styles as the narrator reads the stories and parts of the stories.
A bit of a meditation on comics and thought and reality. I read it awhile ago and have no further comment.
