Here are some preview pages, one from each book.

600 pages of work, the longest gestating of these projects started in 2015, I decided it’s time to “clear the slate”

More info here, preorders available and I hope to be finished in the fall: whitecomics.co/2026/01/04/y...

Not sure if this is what you mean but I’d say indulgent prose is often annoying (unless very very good). Indulgent drawing is often great.

It was good, fine is too harsh! But I was underwhelmed including compared to my own memory.

Ha I reread FH recently and I thought it was just fine?? I got much more from Campbell’s contributions than from the writing or the prose.

No. I think she has a bunch of things say 80% done and can’t finish them for various internal and external reasons. But so much of the book is real, including stuff I wouldn’t expect like the disappearance and uh her love of gridneff. So who knows!

I should find/scan an annotated list of favorite books from her library that she handed out at an event maybe 10 years ago. Definitely showed how broad her interests are, though of course much of it was on the Oxford educated side.

ha yes strongly agree. I’m less taken with it now than I was at first. But I’m not sure Dewitt will be able to do another last samurai, I hope I’m wrong, and/but this is an interesting book about her inability to write a TLS level work.

It still needed a lot of work

I have ECOLE

Ok, I finished YNH (again, I remember the pdf version more clearly now). It’s good! Messy! I’m a little skeptical that DeWitt will be able to produce another last samurai, for various reasons including the reasons discussed in NYH, but this is probably the next best thing.

I’ll just watch the movie, I’m sure that’s just as good

Ah yeah of course

I had an interesting conversation with a young person at spx, who said “I like weird/experimental/whatever comics, what are they called? what terms can I use to seek them out?” — and of course I didn’t have a good answer. “Poetry comics” is one of several options that I considered and rejected.

I think even if used “correctly” it doesn’t usefully describe or group together comics I like that might fit under this category.
