Description
xThe "hilariously funny" graphic novel (Time) from the highly acclaimed author of Ghost World and Patience tells the story of David Boring, a nineteen-year-old security guard with a tortured inner life and an obsessive nature, who is about to meet the girl of his dreams.
Things go awry: what seems too good to be true apparently is. And what seems truest in Boring's life is that, given the right set of circumstances (in this case, an orgiastic cascade of vengeance, humiliation and murder) the primal nature of humankind will come inexorably to the fore. "Boring finds love with a mysterious woman named Wanda, loses her and sort of finds her again. He also gets shot in the head (twice) and stranded on an island with his brutish family. Meanwhile, the world may or may not be ending soon." --Time
