description: After years of sporadic work on other books and projects and following the almost complete loss of his virility it's here: a new graphic novel by Chris Ware. Building Stories imagines the inhabitants of a three-story Chicago apartment building: a 30-something woman who has yet to find someone with whom to spend the rest of her life; a couple possibly married who wonder if they can bear each other's company another minute; and the building's landlady an elderly woman who has lived alone for decades. Taking advantage of the absolute latest advances in wood pulp technology Building Stories is a book with no deliberate beginning nor end the scope ambition artistry and emotional prevarication beyond anything yet seen from this artist or in this medium probably for good reason.
