Matt Madden's 99 Ways to Tell a Story: Exercises in Style

Matt Madden's new book 99 Ways to Tell a Story: Exercises in Style has just been released by Chamberlain Bros. (an imprint of Penguin) with a fantabulous cover and interior designed by Charlie Orr (naturally). You might remember some of these comics from LIT. Following the example of Oulipian Raymond Queneau, Matt renders the same simple story in 99 stylistic variations. The book's amazing, and beautifully done. Peep at some samples here, and then click on over to Powell's or your local bricks-and-mortar store to get your copy.

Ron Hogan (of Beatrice.com) has written a great launch party report at in his Galley Cat column at Media Bistro. (And thanks for the link, Ron! Nice to meet you. Good luck with your book's launch next week, as well!)
