Dash Shaw's Bottomless Belly Button takes its navel-gazing seriously, as its title suggests. In it, grown children deal with their elderly parents' decision to divorce late in life, and (to varying degrees of self-consciousness) how the end of their parents' marriage illuminates their own relative states of indecision -- and a grandkid gets in on the act, too. May the circle be unbroken. If the main character didn't have a face like a frog, and if occasional forays into the literal architecture of storytelling (schematics of scenes, trips behind and between the walls of the house in which much of the story takes place) didn't hint at the diagrammatic fever that was Shaw's Bodyworld, this would be a fairly straightforward, indie-cinema vision of familial dysfunction. One thing that's clear from the book: its considerable size gives an impression of effort exerted, and perhaps it therefore serves as a reminder that restraint requires as much as (if not more effort than) does production. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

10 days after I put down the book I got the joke of the title. Self-indulgent metafictional navel-gazing with literal interstitial exploration. Did I include enough buzzwords? And it works. At least it worked for this reader, partly because of the slow burn it ignited in the back of my brain.
I read this book after having seen Dash Shaw’s vibrant animated film, “My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea.”
