Ghost World

Daniel Clowes ”Ghost World” er en grafisk roman om teenagelivet i 90'erne. Det er en samling af de otte tegneserier om Enid og Rebecca, som særligt vandt interesse efter Scarlett Johansson optrådte som Rebecca i filmen fra 2001. Enid og Rebecca har netop forladt High-school og ved egentlig ikke helt, hvad de nu vil - bortset fra en ting: Det må ikke være kedeligt. De prøver at fremstå som de mest tjekkede personer i verden, men det ender ikke altid lige heldigt. ”Ghost World” af Daniel Clowes skildrer op og nedture hos to teenagepiger på tærsklen til voksenlivet. Det er på flere måder en simpel og kedsommelig hverdag, og netop denne monotone hvileløshed er det, der fanger læseren.

Ghost World has become a cultural and generational touchstone, and continues to enthrall and inspire readers over a decade after its original release as a graphic novel. Originally serialized in the pages of the seminal comic book Eightball throughout the mid-1990s, this quasi-autobiographical story (the name of one of the protagonists is famously an anagram of the author's name) follows the adventures of two teenage girls, Enid and Becky, two best friends facing the prospect of growing up, and more importantly, apart. Daniel Clowes is one of the most respected cartoonists of his generation, and Ghost World is his magnum opus. Adapted into a major motion picture directed by Terry Zwigoff (director of the acclaimed documentary Crumb ), which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. This graphic novel is a must for any self-respecting comics fan's library.
