Tripping... You would think that adapting this to graphic novel would be almost impossible, but they did it and with a sleek, black and white aesthetic. Of course it leaves you completely clueless because in the end it is an experiment on metatext, and I think it loses force in that aspect, but all the other text games and levels of meaning behind the analysis of memory, language and attachment are on point.

Good artwork. Compelling, mind-bending story. Maybe a little talky for the graphic form. And maybe over-simplified from the original. I will find out when I read the original.

Beautiful prose and a gripping postmodern detective story. I kind of feel like the art doesn't add a whole lot to the story, but it's still a worthy read.
