99 Ways to Tell a Story

release date: Oct 25, 2005
99 Ways to Tell a Story
99 Ways to Tell a Story is a series of engrossing one-page comics that tell the same story ninety-nine different ways. Inspired by Raymond Queneau’s 1947 Exercises in Style, a mainstay of creative writing courses, Madden’s project demonstrates the expansive range of possibilities available to all storytellers. Readers are taken on an enlightening tour—sometimes amusing, always surprising—through the world of the story. Writers and artists in every media will find Madden’s collection especially useful, even revelatory. Here is a chance to see the full scope of opportunities available to the storyteller, each applied to a single scenario: varying points of view, visual and verbal parodies, formal reimaginings, and radical shuffling of the basic components of the story. Madden’s amazing series of approaches will inspire storytellers to think through and around obstacles that might otherwise prevent them from getting good ideas onto the page. 99 Ways to Tell a Story provides a model that will spark productive conversations among all types of creative people: novelists, screenwriters, graphic designers, and cartoonists.

Ex Libris

Ex Libris
Madden construye en Ex libris una narrativa de acertijos posmoderna que es a la vez lúdica y penetrante, y que lo acredita como uno de los grandes maestros visuales de la metaficción en el panorama actual. Estás mirando el volumen Ex libris de Matt Madden. Puede que hayas ido a buscarlo expresamente o que te hayas topado con él en una librería o en casa de alguien. O quizá estés leyendo esto en un catálogo en una pantalla. ¿Qué clase de aventura crees que tendrá lugar entre sus páginas? A juzgar por la cubierta y el título, parece que habla de libros. ¿Está protagonizado por un cómic? Si lo dejas ahora, jamás lo descubrirás. Sin duda, en algún rincón de tu mente se irán ramificando sin parar versiones imaginarias e hipotéticas del argumento. Si quieres descubrir lo que sucede en Ex libris, vas a tener que abrirlo y leer la primera página. Pero, cuidado, ¡podría atraparte! ¡Ah! ¿Aún estás leyendo la contracubierta? Muy bien, a lo mejor prefieres algo así: «Con un despliegue apabullante de estilos visuales y narrativos cargados de inventiva, Ex libris prosigue el camino de juego y exploración iniciado por Madden con 99 ejercicios de estilo. Estamos ante un homenaje a la tradición de la metaficción de escritores como Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, Vladímir Nabókov e Italo Calvino (cuya novela Si una noche de invierno un viajero sirve de punto de partida)». La crítica ha dicho: «Madden pone el foco de manera brillante en los elementos de construcción del medio, elementos como bordes de paneles y efectos de sonido, en una especie de curso de teoría de cómics». Publishers Weekly «Este elegante escaparate de narración gráfica muestra un profundo conocimiento del lenguaje de los cómics. [...] Una novela gráfica deslumbrante». Foreword Reviews «Equilibra la ironía posmoderna con la invención y la diversión genuinas». The Guardian «Madden muestra un gran dominio de numerosos estilos visuales y narrativos. Una historia formalmente inventiva y profundamente emocional, que recuerda a Si una noche de invierno un viajero, de Italo Calvino». Library Journal

A Fine Mess #2

release date: Sep 29, 2004
A Fine Mess #2
"Prisoner of Zembla" tells the tale of Alina Zek, an exiled philologist who makes a doomed last stand to save the written alphabet of her native language. The concern with the alphabet leaks beyond the story and into the very structure of the comic: the careful reader will find a hidden layer to the story, the "prison" which holds Prefessor Zek captive. "The Envoy" is the tale of four hardy seamen who accompany an eminent scientist and his young daughter on a perilous mission to uncharted Arctic waters. "La Mulata de Cordoba" is a retelling of a legend from colonial Mexico about a witch who conjures magic from a source we are all close to: the drawn line. Rounding off the issue will be another installment of Madden''s acclaimed "Exercises in Style."

Six Treasures of the Spiral

release date: Oct 08, 2024
Six Treasures of the Spiral
An author struggles to understand an encounter on the subway that has led her to romantic despair. Six characters embark on a dangerous voyage, searching for a mysterious treasure. A cartoon character finds himself in bizarre yet uncannily familiar scenarios. Three characters obsess over the same image and sense that their lives connect across generations. Novelistic worlds in miniature. Hilarious hijinks. The occasional twist ending... The stories in Six Treasures of the Spiral: Comics Formed Under Pressure are inventive and wide-ranging, sometimes funny, occasionally sad, and always offbeat. The New York Times called Matt Madden a "stuntman-philosopher" because he creates comics in the crucible of formal constraints -- one comic is a visual palindrome, another maps on to the letters of the alphabet, several follow the rules of demanding poetic forms like the villanelle and the haiku. It may seem that strict limitation would stymie creativity; on the contrary, the massive pressure it exerts on the author''s process bonds atoms of text and image together into comic diamonds that Booklist has called "formally rigorous and narratively lucid." Madden is an educator and evangelist for experimental comics. This book contains an extensive afterword that walks through all the game-like rules he used in the stories in this collection. He offers insights into how he turned the shackles of these complex constraints into a source of inspiration and ingenuity. If you want to explore new creative challenges, you''ll leave this book eager to work on forging your narrative jewels.
