Building Stories #[k]

This oversized, slipcased collection from Pantheon presents Chris Ware's acclaimed 'Building Stories' in an unconventional format—a box containing 14 distinct printed pieces, including hardcover books, pamphlets, broadsheets, and a fold-out poster. Rather than a linear narrative, the work explores the interconnected lives of residents in a Chicago apartment building, allowing readers to engage with the story in any order they choose. Originally released in 2012, this edition is celebrated for its ambitious structure and intricate, emotionally resonant storytelling that captures moments of loneliness, memory, and connection across generations.
