most gloriously insane mystery i ve ever read peter orner maggie brown other stories blown away by paul madonna s come to light blends a mystery novel with his usual stunning artwork highly recommended mike krieger co founder of instagram a book that can pique the interest of bibliophiles is as precious as a padparadscha sapphire here are some such gems publisher s weekly come to light deeply satisfying madonna s prose is magnificent foreword reviews paul madonna has created a gripping and deeply mysterious novel about the nature of artistic creation and the wayward confounding path of inspiration it s a gorgeous book with its words and pictures striking up a dialogue that s sharp funny strange and the fuel for a page turner i want everyone i know to read it so we can talk about how cool it is glen david gold carter beats the devil miraculously exquisite dreamy and surprisingly emotional salon com madonna captures snapshots in time as he explores the relationship between image and text that s so gorgeously rendered in madonna s precise yet fluid pen and ink style it feels like it could be anywhere and everywhere publisher s weekly paul madonna is a pen master his work is difficult to categorize but that he was mad magazine s first art intern may help explain his ability to capture human experience in its odd fullness the boston globe madonna s detailed but unfussy drawings bear the same human touch as so many of the buildings he depicts a quality of life a state of mind predicated on the luxury of having an existence in which the only dramas to speak of are personal art practical when his international images are paired with his sparse poetic words the effect is haunting though madonna travels the globe it s not the famous sites or wonders that catch his attention and the experience of being in his world is mesmerizing top 11 books of 2011 oprah com check out paul madonna s surreal guide to the city s zeitgeist a sketchbook of sideways cameos in ink wash drawings of san francisco s eccentric architecture and streetscapes captioned with poetry haiku or overheard conversations the australian simply delightful i really don t like much out there i really don t but on to the next dream i couldn t put down it was sharp clever honest and maybe the funniest book on eviction ever written bob eckstein new york times bestselling author about detail willful eccentricity an almost rococo approach to line and a steadfast devotion to art for its own sake beauty as its own reward paul madonna s work gives itself fully to all of these notions dave eggers madonna has created a kind of san francisco realism details so absurd cruel and beautiful that they can only come from our infuriating home if charlie kaufman squatted in an illegal sublet in armistead maupin s mind this would be the lovely tenant joshua mohr author of all this life the book is fantastic of time and tenderness beautiful drawings beautiful text ethereal and serious at once the book is its own reward maira kalman author of the principles of uncertainty paul madonna has not only pressed graphic fiction way beyond its present boundaries he has created a new and stunning art form where the stand alone brilliant visuals and the hauntingly human words synthesize into a pure and irreducible aesthetic vision this book taught me something fundamental and true and beautiful about the ineffable thereness and thingness of life everything is its own rewardis a work of genius robert olen butler author of a good scent from a strange mountain paul madonna does amazing work very precise but loose he puts a lot of thought into waiting for just the right moment to stop looking around these stripsare a reminder to stop now and then and admire a corner of a room a window or a rooftop there are lovely details everywhere at any time no matter where you live tony millionaire maakies i can t believe how paul madonna can make you feel so mighty to be human at one moment and then so completely humbled the next this is my favorite poetry book of the year beth lisick paul madonna s on to the next dream is bleak terrifying hilarious and lovely marinaomi turning japanese for years i ve been intrigued and charmed by paul madonna s careful and thoughtful drawings of overlooked nooks and by ways of san francisco in his new book he now combines them with manic delirious and increasingly paranoid writings as he struggles with the all consuming city dilemma of gentrification of who came first who gets to stay which wave of usurpers is more real and deserving than the next and finally what happens when someone decides it s your turn to go beautiful and engaging sandow birk visual artist this magnificent book is so many things it s illustrated with more than a hundred of paul s drawings from thailand japan and china and in between those images is a killer literary novel i have fallen really hard for this book not only for its compelling characters but in its themes of identity love the creative process mental illness escape loss how one moves through the world as an artist and where ideas and creativity lurk melissa cistaro author of pieces of my mother commercial
