Lochlann Jain’s debut non-fiction graphic novel, Things That Art, playfully interrogates the order of things. Toying with the relationship between words and images, Jain’s whimsical compositions may seem straightforward. Upon closer inspection, however, the drawings reveal profound and startling paradoxes at the heart of how we make sense of the world.Commentaries by architect and theorist Maria McVarish, poet and naturalist Elizabeth Bradfield, musician and English Professor Drew Daniel, and the author offer further insight into the drawings in this collection. A captivating look at the fundamental absurdities of everyday communication, Things That Art jolts us toward new forms of collation and collaboration.

"I found this book of juxtapositions, puns and wordplay very entertaining and rewarding to read, I also like the fun style of the drawing, which goes well with the serious matter of linguistics and concepts." - Sara Boorman (NB Magazine, October 28,2019) "This is a thinking person’s book, or put more precisely, it draws readers into thinking deeply with its deceptively simple illustrations set side by side and up and down in masterfully designed sets… Things That Art stimulates the mind, the senses, the emotions."- Alisse Waterston (Anthropology Now)
