We Are Breathing collects twelve stories by cartoonist Andrew White--some narrative and others moments of quiet poetry--that use color, abstraction, and formal invention to create a mood of intimacy. A woman explores a hidden cave. A fire consumes an infinite home. A baker does the same thing she has done every day. This collection serves as an introduction to White's work for new readers and a broad survey of his output to date for those already familiar with his comics.
