Here & Now interviews Chris Ware, winner of the Gerry Canavan Memorial Book of This Arbitrary Length of Time award and thus a strong contender for Gerry Canavan Memorial Book of the Year. Both the interviewer and yours truly agree that this book has a "gobsmacking level of craft on display." For his part, Chris has deserved good words for Spiegelman's classic Maus, as well as a lot of other interesting and funny things to say.

He also explains how to get the glow-in-the-dark map to work, which I hadn't been able to do (not that I was really trying) until this moment. Eureka! Like everything else in The Acme Novelty Library Final Report to Shareholders and Rainy Day Saturday Afternoon Fun Book, it's pretty great. (via)
