There is so much information packed into this #graphicnovel about the five senses! The story: a woman gets zapped by her virtual reality invention & ends up on a journey through the body with various scientist & animal guides along the way. Kind of like the movies Inside Out & Fantastic Voyage.

gradcat Great review! If you saw my last post (probably not, right), you‘d know I‘ve only ever read one graphic novel. But your photo + review might move me to read another one. Thanks! (edited) 5y
Lindy @gradcat I am a graphic novel proselytizer. Pictorial narrative is such a pleasure. Better than a movie because you can proceed through each frame at your own pace and rewind easily. 5y

The characters leading Diane through her body‘s various sense receptors are based on historical scientific figures. The notes at the back of the book explain that the one pictured above is inspired by Marcello Malpighi (1628-1694).

gradcat This is really cool 😎 5y

“Our body … shapes the way we think.”
“Studies … show that all the information coming through our body, our feelings, are an integral part of the thinking process.”
“There are no pure ‘platonic‘ ideas, only ideas in relationship with our body.”
