Publisher Description: <p><b>Now a feature film with Woody Harrelson and Laura Dern</b><i> <p/>A new paperback edition of the modern classic timed to the release of the Alexander Payne</i>-<i>produced film version. </i> <p/>Meet Wilson, an opinionated middle-aged loner who loves his dog and quite possibly no one else. In an ongoing quest to find human connection, he badgers friend and stranger alike into a series of one-sided conversations, punctuating his own lofty discursions with a brutally honest, self-negating sense of humor. After his father dies, Wilson, now irrevocably alone, sets out to find his ex-wife with the hope of rekindling their long-dead relationship, and discovers he has a teenage daughter, born after the marriage ended and given up for adoption. Wilson eventually forces all three to reconnect as a family--a doomed mission that will surely, inevitably backfire. <p/>Daniel Clowes, one of the leading cartoonists of our time creates a thoroughly engaging, complex, and fascinating portrait of the modern egoist--outspoken and oblivious to the world around him. Working in a single-page gag format and drawing in a spectrum of styles, the cartoonist of <i>Ghost World</i>, <i>Ice Haven</i>, and <i>The Death-Ray </i>gives us <i>Wilson</i>, his funniest and most deeply affecting novel to date.</p>
