Ben Katchor
In The Cardboard Valise (Pantheon, $25.95), a graphic novel from Ben Katchor—whose weekly strips have been collected into The Jew of New York and Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer, among others—an overstuffed suitcase becomes a comic metaphor for modern life. Set in a world tilted about 45 degrees away from reality, Katchor's story follows a number of characters through their quirky obsessions, each of whom highlights a uniquely curious take on modernity. "Open to any page and you'll be surprised anew,” says The Washington Post.
