Description
With the deceptively simple use of line of Matt Groening or James Thurber, the deft and elegant use of color of Chris Ware or Hergé, the cinematographic eye of Eric Drooker, and the combined sense of dark humor and nostalgic sadness of Edward Gorey, Brown has created a sparse and engrossing novella that stands beautifully, beckoningly outside of any of the established forms or conventions of the comic book or the graphic novel to date. Like a medieval tapestry of Nathaniel West's Miss show more Lonelihearts drawn by Keith Haring on a Wacom tablet, Sam Brown weaves a story within a story, a fable entwined in a narrative of urban disenchantment and pastoral escape. show lessTags

It takes a lot for me to admit to getting choked up over a book. I almost start crying every freaking time I read this freaking thing. How do stick figures and disconnected narratives do this to me? This could be a powerful weapon one day, a powerful powerful weapon.
a short picture book with simple, beautiful drawings and thick, bittersweet emotion. most pages have one line of text. images are computer-drawn not hand-drawn.
