Fiction and graphic fiction shouldn?t be in competition, as there are things that only Ware can give us and others that he can never give us, that only the novelist could offer. The danger is that comics, with their new and hard-won prestige, will begin to force novelistic ideas into panels and word bubbles too cramped for such usage?and that novels, already anxious about their worth, will try to transport the comic?s rendering onto pages that ought to have inward, not outward depth. We?ll never see the effusive, dithering pronouncements of the mind given the depth in a comic that they can be afforded in a book, which is good?to attempt it would ruin the comic. Some ideas and emotions can only be told in stories through indirectness and aside, ruminations and the illusion of time unique to the printed page. The novel is still the only way to assay everything too vast and equivocal to be reduced to pure symbol and formulation. It ought to be groping with those mysteries that can?t be handled elsewhere.

É o tipo de coisa que preciso reler umas vezes, porque está cheio de idéias (boas). Raro ver um texto com esse tipo de profundidade lidando com quadrinhos. Mas muito bem. Gracias.
