David Boring (en espanol) : David Boring (Bola Ocho/Eight Ball) Daniel Clowes

Amazon.comIt"s impossible to write about Daniel Clowes"s work without using the word "ennui." But his is a joyous ennui, if such a thing is possible, one that relishes the boredom of everyday life with a Zen enthusiasm. The title David Boring reflects his self-aware humor and captures the essence of an ordinary man living through a larger-than-life story. The main character lives with his best friend, Dot, in a large city, each looking for love and meaning. David in particular is trying to understand his father, whom he knows only through an obscure comic book called "The Yellow Streak." Murder, obsession, sex, and war are all just distractions as he tries to construct a sensible portrait from the odd bits and pieces he finds in his travels. Clowes finds little miracles everywhere he looks--so many, in fact, that they seem hardly to interest him. This detachment perversely makes David Boring deeply compelling and worthy of serious attention from fans and newcomers alike. --Rob LightnerBook DescriptionBOLA OCHO/EIGHT BALL SERIES: 1990-2, 1997-8, 2002-04 HARVEY WINNER; 2002 EISNER WINNER.
