Críticas:

Hornschemeier avoids the hammering sentimentality and labored connect-all-the-dots obviousness of too much contemporary work, in any media.--Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn

To breathe even a lungful of fresh air into the autobiographical comics genre is a challenge, but Hornschemeier succeeds. Although the mysterious pull of a place and its stories is never fully explained, the book is made stronger and more memorable by his elliptical approach.

Starred Review. It's a surprisingly rare thing to find the great comic artist who can not only draw with poetry and beauty, but write like a demon as well...Hornschemeier's skills are nearly as verbal as they are visual, his art encompassing many different styles...But taken together, the work exhibits an instantly recognizable and distinctive panache. The depth of his art truly comes to life in the melancholic squids of text and short fictions studding this collection...Perhaps the intrusion of the journeyman keeps an exquisite volume like this so rewarding and yet grounded.

Reseña del editor:

All and Sundry: Uncollected Work 2004-2009 corrals Paul Hornschemeire's work from the last five years. These works span mostly periodicals to European museums, including: drawings and comics created for an exhibit in Paris; an award-winning cover exhibited in London; the seventeen-part serialized tale "Huge Suit Vistis the People" created for the celebrated German newspaper Frankurter allgemeine Zeitung:; and a few US comic strips for The Wall Street Journal and CNN.

The collection concludes with extensive selections from sketches and sketchbooks, demonstrating the variety and depth of the artist's interests and pursuits.

All and Sundry invites an examination of the entirety of Hornschemeire's process, from first fevered scrawl to final, pristine brush line.
