Meet Wilson?? an opinionated middle-aged loner who loves his dog and quite possibly no one else. In an ongoing quest to find human connection?? he badgers friend and stranger alike into a series of one-sided conversations?? punctuating his own lofty discursions with a brutally honest?? self-negating sense of humor. After his father dies?? Wilson?? now irrevocably alone?? sets out to find his ex-wife with the hope of rekindling their long-dead"nship?? and discovers he has a teenage daughter?? born after the marriage ended and given up for adoption. Wilson eventually forces all three to reconnect as a family--a doomed mission that will surely?? inevitably backfire.

Daniel Clowes?? one of the leading cartoonists of our time creates a thoroughly engaging?? complex?? and fascinating portrait of the modern egoist--outspoken and oblivious to the world around him. Working in a single-page gag format and drawing in a spectrum of styles?? the cartoonist of Ghost World?? Ice Haven?? and The Death-Ray gives us Wilson?? his funniest and most deeply affecting novel to date.
