Building

Building Stories is a 2012 graphic novel by American cartoonist Chris Ware. The unconventional work is made up of fourteen printed works—cloth-bound books, newspapers, broadsheets and flip books—packaged in a boxed set. The work took a decade to complete, and was published by Pantheon Books. The intricate, multilayered stories pivot around an unnamed female protagonist with a missing lower leg. It mainly focuses on her time in a three-story brownstone apartment building in Chicago, but also follows her later in her life as a mother. The parts of the work can be read in any order.Building StoriesDate2012Page count260 pagesPublisherPantheon BooksCreative teamCreatorChris WareISBN978-0-375-42433-5 superb for everyday use. first-class materials and excellent craftsmanship ensure long-lasting durability.​
