Review of 'The Surface Volume 1 (Surface Tp)' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
The biggest problem with this work is that it wears its influences so well that you don't get much of a sense for what it is. It looks great and is incredibly well produced, but the postmodern twist undercuts the plot so you're left with a bunch of decent surreal scenes and an essay on self acceptance. Kot seems to struggle with traditional conclusions and what we get instead, as emotional as it may be, doesn't quite make up for the disappointment this causes.
