Author:Jessie Hartland
Enter the world of Steve Jobs -- disrupter, icon, hero -- and be inspired by his fascinating life presented here as a graphic novel.
This fast-paced and entertaining biography is a perfect complement to text-heavy books on Steve Jobs like Walter Isaacson’s biography. Steve Jobs is the subject of a major movie project this Autumn, and this graphic telling of his life-story presents him as the ultimate American entrepreneur, who brought us Apple Computer, Pixar, Macs, iPods, iPhones and more. It's a unique and stylish book, sure to appeal to the legions of readers who live and breathe the perfect blend of technology and design that Jobs created.
Jobs’s remarkable life reads like a history of the personal technology industry. He started Apple Computer in his parents’ garage and eventually became the tastemaker of a generation, creating products we can’t live without. Through it all, he was an overbearing and demanding perfectionist, both impossible and inspiring.
Capturing his unparalleled brilliance, as well as his many demons, Jessie Hartland’s engaging biography illuminates the meteoric successes, devastating setbacks, and myriad contradictions that make up the extraordinary life and legacy of the insanely great Steve Jobs.
From now on, McGuire will be known as the author of the novel Here, because it's a work of literature and art unlike any seen or read before. A book like this comes along once a decade, if not a century
—— Chris Ware , GuardianPromises to leapfrog immediately to the front ranks of the graphic-novel genre
—— Jennifer Schuessler , New York TimesExquisitely drawn . . . dizzying. To hold it is to covet it
—— Rachel Cooke , ObserverAll comics are somehow sheet music of time, but Richard's book is a symphony. I can't think of too many works that totally justify the odd share of attention comics have gotten in recent years, but this is one of them.
—— Art SpiegelmanA meditation on "impermanence" . . . emotionally compelling yet unsettling
—— AtlanticA gorgeous symphony
—— KirkusBeautiful, mesmerizing, a dazzling experiment in form . . . both bleak and vivid and more a work of art than a comic book
—— StarburstThe concept is stunningly simple, and in laying bare the universality of existence - its beauty, ugliness, and mundanity - it is utterly moving
—— BooklistMcGuire adds lavish color and some plot, but he preserves the captivating, uncanny sense of love, anger and tragedy flying across the centuries while staying in one place.
—— Mark AthikisOne of the most engaging graphic novel experiments in book form I've ever seen
—— Los Angeles TimesHere heightens our awareness of how much has gone before and is still to come
—— Independent (Best graphic novels of 2014)Rarely does a conceptual work seize the emotions like Here. Every moment seems insignificant compared with the massive sweep of time, and yet the most trivial actions take on an aching poignancy
—— NPRAlmost overwhelmingly poignant. His masterful sense of time and the power of the mundane makes this feel like the graphic novel equivalent of Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life
—— Publishers Weekly (starred review)Completely wonderful
—— MetroYou begin to appreciate McGuire's extraordinary command of history and pacing . . . the non-chronological arrangement seems faithful to how consciousness really works
—— FInancial Times WeekendWonderful graphic novel.
—— Arifa Akbar , IndependentThe storyline is exciting and well thought out to give a wide overview of the suffrage movement. I was very pleasantly surprised.
—— Lattice , GuardianA seamless blend of historical fact and fiction ... The illustrations are full of energy and expression.
—— Jacqui Agate , Independent
