520    "What prevents you from finishing your life's work? Josh 
       Bayer finds a manuscript of an unfinished play inside his 
       deceased father's desk. The play tells the story of Josh's
       mother's early death (age 35) and his father's struggle 
       with single parenthood. When he attempts to adapt the play
       into comics, it triggers a series of personal crises. 
       Bayer's limitations and futile ambitions are brought into 
       sharp relief as he grapples with an estranged, unknowable 
       parent and the play's frustrating lack of resolution. 
       Humans worship lore, myth, and fables, but many people's 
       unwritten stories become abandoned. This book looks at the
       dreams we leave to that abyss and asks, "why?" Bayer's 
       inky line, tangled textures, and kaleidoscopic color 
       boldly fuse on the page into comic book semiotics, flights
       of grandeur, and tangents inside tangents" --|cProvided by
