Note(s) : "Emile Delilah is a young xenophile (lover of foreign nations) so addicted to traveling
to the exotic regions of Outer Canthus that the government pays him a monthly stipend
just so he can continue his visits. Living in the same tenement as Emile are Boreal
Rince, the exiled king of Outer Canthus, and Elijah Salamis, a supranationalist determined
to erase the cultural and geographic boundaries that separate the citizens of the
Earth. Although they rarely meet, their lives intertwine through the elaborate fictions
they construct and inhabit: a vast panorama of humane hamburger stands, exquisitely
ethereal ethnic restaurants, ancient restroom ruins, and wild tracts of land that
fit neatly next to high-rise hotels. The Cardboard Valise is a graphic novel as travelogue;
a canvas of semi-surrealism; and a poetic, whimsical, beguiling work of Ben Katchor's
dazzling imagination."--Publisher
