<div>My guest in this week's Book Club podcast is Chris Ware — author of <em>Jimmy Corrigan</em>, <em>Building Stories </em>and <em>Rusty Brown, </em>and a man widely regarded as one of the greatest living cartoonists.<br><br>Chris's new book, <em>The Acme Novelty Datebook Volume Three,</em> opens his sketchbooks for public consumption: a potentially painful move for an artist as self-conscious and perfectionist as Ware. He tells me a bit about the relationship between cartooning and architecture, what he's trying to do with his graphic novels, the importance of R Crumb and Art Spiegelman to his work, and what gave him the confidence to turn his back on fine art. </div>
