Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. B&W (with blue and red colouring), about a father dying from excess smoking, his grown-up son and daughter looking after him. Brief mention of David Lynch (where the son and father watch Mulholland Drive together), and touching moment where both father and son remove their (rhino) masks, used throughout the tale, as if exposing their raw emotions. ( ) Heavy subject matter here as the author moves in with his his terminally ill father, who has just begun hospice care for his emphysema. As their shared future dwindles, they find themselves dealing with the history of abuse, disappointment, and resentment that has created a rift between them. Wright chooses to illustrate himself, his father and several other key characters as animals while his mother, sister and the rest are portrayed as human. It's odd, but pays off quite effectively in a scene near the end. I almost rounded down to 3 stars for the dream sequences and metaphorical depictions of Wright's inner struggles, but he also had a payoff for those segments in the final pages that really worked for me. I've read several good books in this Graphic Medicine series. I need to seek out more of them. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
