"The primacy of words over images has deep roots in Western culture. But what if the
two are inextricably linked, equal partners in meaning-making? Written and drawn entirely
as comics, Unflattening is an experiment in visual thinking. Nick Sousanis defies
conventional forms of scholarly discourse to offer readers both a stunning work of
graphic art and a serious inquiry into the ways humans construct knowledge. 'Unflattening'
is an insurrection against the fixed viewpoint. Weaving together diverse ways of seeing
drawn from science, philosophy, art, literature, and mythology, it uses the collage-like
capacity of comics to show that perception is always an active process of incorporating
and reevaluating different vantage points. While its vibrant, constantly morphing
images occasionally serve as illustrations of text, they more often connect in nonlinear
fashion to other visual references throughout the book. They become allusions, allegories,
and motifs, pitting realism against abstraction and making us aware that more meets
the eye than is presented on the page."--Amazon.com
