"The words and images speak for themselves and succeed on their own terms" in Unflattening by Nick Sousanis


 A Doctoral dissertation in graphic novel form:

"The primacy of words over images has deep roots in Western culture. But what if the two are inextricably linked, equal partners in meaning-making? Written and drawn entirely as comics, Unflattening is an experiment in visual thinking. Nick Sousanis defies conventional forms of scholarly discourse to offer readers both a stunning work of graphic art and a serious inquiry into the ways humans construct knowledge."

"Written and drawn entirely as comics, Unflattening is an experiment in visual thinking. "
