"At once familiar and hard to place, the work of acclaimed Canadian cartoonist Seth
evokes a world that no longer exists--and perhaps never existed, except in the panels
of long-forgotten comics. Seth's distinctive drawing style strikingly recalls a bygone
era of cartooning, an apt vehicle for melancholy, gently ironic narratives that depict
the grip of the past on the present. Even as he appears to look to the past, however,
Seth (born Gregory Gallant) is constantly pushing the medium of comics forward with
sophisticated work that often incorporates metafiction, parody, and formal experimentation.
Between History and Memory offers a comprehensive account of this work and the complex
interventions it makes into the past. Moving beyond common notions of nostalgia, Daniel
Marrone explores the various ways in which Seth's comics induce readers to participate
in forging histories and memories. Marrone discusses collecting, Canadian identity,
New Yorker cartoons, authenticity, artifice, and ambiguity--all within the context
of a careful consideration of the unique structure and texture of comics. Indeed,
Seth's comics are suffused with longing for the past, but on close examination this
longing is revealed to be deeply ambivalent, ironic, and self-aware. Marrone undertakes
the most thorough, sustained investigation of Seth's work to date, at the same time
advancing a broader argument about how comics operate as a literary medium. Included
as an appendix is a substantial interview, conducted by the author, in which Seth
candidly discusses his work, his peers, and his influences"
