Graphic Novel
In Gloriana, Kevin Huizenga exposes the mechanics that
underpin everyday life. His protagonist, Glenn Ganges, has
conversations about dish soap and library visits that are
both faithful depictions of the mundane interactions we all
have and so much more: existential dissections of the units
that construct our lives. Huizenga has an understated, quiet
approach to story writing that allows his characters (and
his readers) the self-awareness to recognize the humor and
tragedy of every moment. Huizenga’s much-lauded work is finely detailed, and in its
innovative use of form, it explores the boundaries of the
comic medium, deconstructing and reconstructing panels to
express temporality and lived experience more fully.
Presented in this expanded edition, Gloriana employs
familiar settings and thorough, sometimes scientific
explanations to reach thoughtful conclusions.
