Synopsis de l’éditeur
David Small s Stitches is aptly named. With surgical precision, the author pierces into the past and, with great artistry, seals thewound inflicted on a small child by cruel and unloving parents. Stitchesis as intensely dramatic as a woodcut novel of the silent movie era andas fluid as a contemporary Japanese manga. It breaks new ground forgraphic novels. --Francoise Mouly, Art Editor of The New Yorker Lire la suite...

David Small draws you into his childhood, evoking the 50s and 60s and a household that represses and internalizes all feelings. "Stitches" is the story of his childhood, of his mother, and of the growth on his neck that turns out to be cancer, resulting in the removal of one of his vocal chords and a horrific scar. This book is brief - maybe an hour to read, but it sinks into you. The art swirls and moves as if it were a film, and the awkwardness, tension, and sadness of Small's family is conveyed through the black, white, and gray-washed illustrations. Certain themes crop up through the book - Small's fascination with Alice in Wonderland, a haunting discover in the pathology department of the hospital where his father worked, his escape into art throughout his childhood and into his teens, and the words that we say even when we are silent. Small closes the book with further details of his family's history, particularly his mother's medical background.
This is a powerful story, made more so by the format used to tell it. For those looking for a complicated book on family relationships and finding your own voice, I would highly recommend this book.
