Aqui, o autor de “A vida é boa, se você não fraquejar” costura com paciência e esmero a colcha de retalhos que irá nos apresentar a vida de George Sprott, o antiquado apresentador de um antigo programa de televisão. Através de uma série de relatos (muitas vezes contraditórios) vindos de diversas fontes e ordenados pela voz de um narrador confuso, a história de Sprott se desdobra pelo livro de forma surpreendente. Um tratado sobre a memória (social e individual) e sobre a sua perda, tingido da charmosa e melancólica nostalgia que fez a obra de Seth famosa. Originalmente serializado no New York Times, George Sprott é mais uma obra-prima de uma das vozes mais brilhantes e únicas da história dos quadrinhos.
