people: Satoshi Kon

A splendidly curated art collection from across the career of an anime and manga luminary reminds us of what we had, and what we lost

When does it make sense to have others continue work left unfinished by the creator's death, and when is it best to just leave well enough alone?

An unfinished but tantalizing collaboration between two of anime (and manga's) most idiosyncratic creative personalities, Satoshi Kon and Mamoru Oshii, this book inspires a close reading -- and no end of wonder about where one man's imagination began and the other one's ended

Never finished and lost to time, Satoshi Kon's mini-epic about a manga artist caught in the interpenetration of reality and his imagination works both on its own terms as an adventure -- and as an unintentional metaphor for its creator's own career
