L'apparente leggerezza con cui l'autore riesce a trattarlo nasconde in realtà un velo di fondo pieno di amarezza, che resta addosso anche dopo la lettura. ( ) Since I last year discovered the graphic novel, I now and then read one. Rimpels is about a man getting Alzheimer and left in a old people's home. He sees himself getting worse and is afraid of ending up on the second floor, the location for the helpless... The story itself is not too difficult and evenfull, but the drawings make it complete. It's so recognisable! Here pictures say more than a thousand words. Gripping and funny. And way too thin. A book to skip through now and then. http://boekenwijs.blogspot.com/2010/02/rimpels.html no reviews | add a review

Admitted to a home for the elderly because he suffers from Alzheimer's disease, Emilio's community life feels like an ordeal. But soon he accepts his new environment and decides to fight to escape from giving in to his awful destiny. Even as his memory flutters, he and new friend Miguel, an overconfident ladies' man, invent creative ways to enliven their daily routines and strike a blow for personal freedom. It all culminates in a foolhardy, madcap, nightime joyride... of sorts. No library descriptions found. |
