Παρουσίαση
Three small-town Oregon boys whose fathers are off fighting in Iraq relentlessly push each other to become men in this somber graphic novel. They brawl violently with each other in backyards, sneak into bars, and peer into the scopes of rifles pointed at more than just deer, all the while wondering desperately what to make of their empty email inboxes and the deafening silences coming from their fathers. While all of the boys' stories are presented, the one whose future wavers between college and combat becomes the focal point. Novgorodoff's artfully misshapen lines and grotesque facial expressions capture the uneasy quality of her story, the tumultuous nature of her characters' psyches, and the explosive instability of their unfocused rage. But by far the most striking sequence comes near the end, where washed-out inks hint at the suffocating myopia of the Iraqi desert and also serve as a bleak metaphor for the boys' emotional states. A resonant, slow-building tale of the boys - or men, in the eyes of the armed forces - left behind, and senselessly left fatherless, by war. (From the publisher)Κριτικές για το προϊόν
