Exclusive Excerpt: ‘The Principles of Uncertainty’


Every week, the Comics Page introduces you to brand-new graphic novels by the world's best artists and writers. Manga, superheroes, indie comix — we'll cover them all as our editors select the best the exploding comics world has to offer.


Artist and author Maira Kalman kept a visual journal for one year, asking questions both big and small: What is identity? What is happiness? Why do some guys look great in jaunty hats?

Today on the Comics Page, we're proud to present an excerpt from The Principles of Uncertainty, a beautifully illustrated, totally unclassifiable book by New York Times op-artist Maira Kalman, out this week from the Penguin Press.
