In Schematics: A Love Story, Julian Hibbard meditates on schematics, demonstrating how love and loss intersect with time. Every spread pairs a quietly unfolding, enigmatic narrative with a visually arresting schematic diagram. Whether they plot simplistic dance steps or chart chemical decomposition, the illustrations complicate and supplement the deceptively simple narrative. As readers try to reconcile how the images and text interact, they will find themselves more and more engaged with the puzzle, making new discoveries about the nature of memory. The book also includes an index explaining the original schematic diagrams and an afterword by philosopher David LaRocca, which add another layer of intrigue to this short but memorable fiction.
