Synopsis:
An intricate, complex autobiographical comic blending multiple threads of reality and fantasy, each drawn in a different style, coming together as one story questioning change, progress, and worth in the author's life.
Review:
It is an intelligent example of how much the graphic novel form can achieve with such economy: a picture is indeed worth a thousand words.--Neel Mukherjee
Moments like those have earned Hornschemeier his legion of champions, and that make us want him to reach a little more.
Paul Hornschemeier uses the medium of cartooning here as the message he is sending, as each new chapter in the book references different cartoon styles and axioms.... I loved it.--Alex Jarvis, Spandexless
To breathe even a lungful of fresh air into the autobiographical comics genre is a challenge, but Hornschemeier succeeds. Although the mysterious pull of a place and its stories is never fully explained, the book is made stronger and more memorable by his elliptical approach.
