"""Silke Horstkotte and Nancy Pedri's Experiencing Visual Storyworlds: Focalization in Comics will ... help introduce key terms from contemporary narratology, including those around focalization, and hopefully seed them throughout comics studies. The complex web of ideas the book attempts to present allows for a wealth of close readings, some of which future scholars will certainly return to, extend, and counter."" --Shawn Gilmore, ImageTexT ""A long time in the making, Experiencing Visual Storyworlds explores a diverse selection of examples in order to offer a highly original perspective on focalization in comics."" --Jan-N�el Thon, author of Transmedial Narratology and Contemporary Media Culture ""The intellectual move Horstkotte and Pedri make here, from the granular detail of focalization to the abstraction of genre, is a major accomplishment. This is stunning new work, by far the most sophisticated study of graphic narrative I have read."" --Emma Kafalenos, author of Narrative Causalities"
