Review

"Thompson manages to explore adolescent social yearnings, the power of young love and the complexities of sexual attraction with a rare combination of sincerity, pictorial lyricism and taste. His exceptional b&w drawings balance representational precision with a bold and wonderfully expressive line for pages of ingenious, inventively composes and poignant imagery." (starred review)

"...[A] superb example of the art of cartooning: the blending of word and picture to achieve an effect that neither is capable of without the other....[A] graphic novel of great sensitivity and insight."

Publisher's note

Loosely based on the author's life, chronicles Craig's journey from childhood to adulthood, exploring the people, experiences, and beliefs that he encountered along the way.

Annotation

From the author of GOODBYE, CHUNKY RICE, this is a coming-of-age memoir in graphic novel format. Craig Thompson recounts his childhood in a fundamentalist Wisconsin household, his early attempts at art (condemned by his parents and their peers as sinful), and his first love, a needy young woman whose parents are divorcing. The fluid, black-and-white illustrations eloquently convey the emotions of its painfully vulnerable characters.
