Ex Libris revolves around a character trapped in a room with nothing but a futon anda 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. Fictionand reality blur; sanity and madness become increasingly intertwined as the readerbecomes convinced the key to their predicament is to be found between the panels ofthe strange books. With a dizzying array of inventive visual and narrative styles, ExLibris continues the line of exploration and play that Madden initiated with 99 Ways toTell a Story: Exercises in Style. Ex Libris is a tribute to the meta-fictional tradition ofwriters like Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cort?zar, Vladimir Nabokov, and Italo Calvino(whose novel, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler, was the inspiration).
