Ghost World is the story of Enid and Rebecca,teenage friends facing the unwelcome prospect of adulthood,and the uncertain future of their complicated relationship. Clowes conjures a balanced semblance,both tender and objective,of their fragile existence,capturing the mundane thrills and hourly tragedies of a waning adolescence,as he follows a tenuous narrative thread through the fragmented lives of these two fully realised young women.
