Entering the Vaults - Highly recommended!,
By
This review is from: The Museum Vaults: Excerpts from the Journal of an Expert (Paperback)
This is a story of an "expert" who explores the vaults of a famous museum. Perhaps it's an alternate history, or perhaps a dark future that the expert explores, cataloguing both the bizarre and the familiar. The story is told in a series of vignettes as the expert meets artisans devoting their lives to their individual pursuits. Each mini-story is flush with mesmerizing images and one or two startling ideas. The concept of a "museum" is stretched to its utmost, until...well, in the end you're going to have to decide on your own individual interpretation (fans of Jorge Luis Borges will find themselves right at home). The pace is slow, but steady; the artwork is clean and just a bit cartoony, though at times it delivers mind-bending detail. In summary, I love this book and I look forward to many rereadings. Highly recommended!
