Lewis Trondheim
One of the very first autobiographical graphic novels to come from France, Lewis Trondheimâ€™s ,Approximate Continuum Comics, set the standard for the honest, often hilarious chronicling of a cartoonistâ€™s life. Trondheimâ€™s typically graceful, confident cartooning shows him wrestling with his own demons (sometimes, in dream sequences, literally) and an often malevolent world, while trying to maintain his rising career as one of Europeâ€™s most beloved cartoonists.,Approximate Continuum, finally brings American readers the first portion of the â€œTrondheim autobio trilogyâ€ that also comprises the Eisner nominated â€œAt Loose Endsâ€ meditation serialized in ,Mome, (which will be released as a graphic novel in 2012) and the ongoing â€œLittle Nothingsâ€ series of short slice-of-life stories (three to date from NBM Publishing).,This volume contains the first three chapters serialized in the ,Nimrod, comic book, the last three (never-before-translated) chapters, and a hilarious â€œrebuttalâ€ section in which Trondheimâ€™s family and cartoonist friends (including ,Epileptic, creator David B. and Trondheimâ€™s mom) dispute (or ruefully agree with) Trondheimâ€™s depictions.
