When I was reading about Asterios Polyp this got mentioned a couple times and so I added it to my list for the library.
I feel like I missed a lot here, like, there's probably good reasons people praised this but they apparently went right over my head.

Amazing, meta, crazy, so clever, art compliments the story so well. SO MUCH TO UNPACK. Must go read book now as well and reread this soon.
Bastante psicologico, me hizo ver de forma distinta, las cosas que veo a diario.
Falls apart a bit at the end, and while I know that's mostly deliberate, the disintegration isn't as interesting as it thinks it is. The Peter Stillman sections are genius.

Powerful adaptation of Auster's novel, a treatise on language and identity, disguised under a thin hardboiled detective mask. Beautiful artwork and storytelling.
