“A map is worth a thousand words. San Francisco-based illustrator Andrew DeGraff has created 19 idiosyncratic and highly detailed maps based on the landscapes and locales in popular literature, from Odysseus’ punishingly circuitous route to the time continuum of 'A Wrinkle in Time.'” –Wall Street Journal

“Plotted, at first glance, is merely beautiful—gorgeous multipage maps, drawn by DeGraff, of Frederick Douglass’ Eastern Shore and the rabbits’ warrens of Watership Down. But as you read DeGraff’s clever accompanying essays, you realize that what you’re holding is actually quite an innovative work of literary criticism, offering new ways of looking at books and stories that seemed entirely familiar.”—Slate

“[A] collection of maps that convey not only the locations of fictional universes, but the trajectories of the characters who move through them. Your favorite books come to life in Andrew De Graff's Plotted ”—Huffington Post

“[DeGraff is] a genius at identifying and connecting a work’s key coordinates, then using them as the basis for remarkable visualizations.
