While the book contains a collection of written notes designed to provide more information about the “backstory” and “influences behind the words and drawings” (p. 155- 170), the visual text (p. 1-152) works pretty much as a stand-alone piece. As a matter of fact, it is known today as the first doctoral dissertation entirely written in comics format. Before its publication by Harvard University Press, Unflattening existed as Nick Sousanis’ doctoral dissertation, which he defended at Columbia University. Unflattening is all this and more: it draws from art, science, philosophy, and mythology to offer us a linguistic and visual reflection on knowledge, discourse, and meaning-making processes.ĢWritten entirely in comics form, Sousanis’ book is an invitation to explore the intersections between form and content, hereby expanding our definition of literacy and scholarly inquiry. Others, like Douglas Wolk in the New York Times, considered Unflattening to be “a genuine oddity, a philosophical treatise in comics form” ( New York Times Book Review, May 2015). 1Scott McCloud, the famous American comic artist and theorist best known for his pivotal work on Understanding Comics (1993), described Unflattening as “a complex, beautiful, delirious meditation”. ![]() ![]() The basis of The Family's philosophy was that Hamilton-Byrne was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and a living god.

In June 1993, Hamilton-Byrne was charged with conspiracy to defraud and to commit perjury by falsely registering the births of three unrelated children as her own triplets, but those charges were eventually dropped. The group's headquarters was raided by the police on 14 August 1987 and all children were removed from the premises. The Family-also called the Santiniketan Park Association and the Great White Brotherhood-is an Australian New Age group formed in the mid-1960s under the leadership of yoga teacher Anne Hamilton-Byrne (born Evelyn Grace Victoria Edwards 30 December 1921–13 June 2019).
