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."
