Morton (A Cross-Country Rail Journey)

"It's unlike anything I've read before. I loved it." —Chris Ware on Chimo

A graphic memoir lamenting the loss of train travel, the grip of family, mortality, art, and the human condition, with many other digressions thrown in for good measure. David Collier's dream is to travel with his wife and son across the country by rail before it is too late. Through the passing landscape he tries to track down the many characters with whom he has lost touch. With Morton, Collier, who has been called "a national treasure," has produced his most ambitious work to date.
