Musician Julian Taylor on the "bizarre" graphic novel he's reading now

Julian Taylor performs with the Julian Taylor Band. The musician is reading a few different books right now, and he told The Next Chapter about Robert Hunter's graphic novel Map of Days.

It's a creation story about a little boy who visits his grandfather, and his grandfather has an obsession with all these grandfather clocks. He's got a key that unlocks one of the main clocks, and this little boy ends up stealing the key and entering the clock. When he enters the clock, he's introduced to a brand new world where there's a mystical creature. It's just a face, really, and it's obsessed with the sun but it's trapped in this clock. So the boy and this face form this friendship and finally the boy frees the face from the clock, and the face has such an obsession with the sun that he chases the sun, and that's how the ocean tide was created. It's really bizarre... I loved it, though.
