Rediscovery of the Ordinary: Chris Ware's 'Lint'
LINT may be empty of meaning, but it’s full of truth. There’s a wonderful tension between the towering ambition that Ware brings to this project and the smallness of the story it tells. There’s no high drama, no intrigue, only the epic tale of a small and predictable life.
