Ex Libris revolves around a character trapped in a room with nothing but a futon and a bookcase full of comics. As they peruse covers, read stories and fragments of stories, they begin to suspect that the comics contain hidden messages and a threat. Fiction and reality blur sanity and madness become increasingly intertwined as the reader becomes convinced the key to their predicament is to be found between the panels of the strange books.With a dizzying array of inventive visual and narrative styles, Ex Libris continues the line of exploration and play that Madden initiated with 99 Ways to Tell a Story Exercises in Style. Ex Libris is a tribute to the metafictional tradition of writers like Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortzar, Vladimir Nabokov, and Italo Calvino (whose novel, If on a Winters Night a Traveler, was the inspiration).MATT MADDEN (NYC 1968) is a cartoonist, teacher, and translator. His bestknown book is 99 Ways to Tell a Story Exercises in Style, a comics adaptation of Raymond Queneaus Exercises in Style. His recent work includes the comic books Drawn Onward and Bridge. He has been living in Philadelphia since 2016.
