![]() ![]() ![]() A loner, he feels dissociated from most people around him and struggles in vain to stay rooted to something. ![]() Through all this, Craig struggles with questions about religion, art, the ephemeral nature of our existence on earth (and whether it will be followed by something more rewarding), the importance of family and the difficulty of achieving genuine closeness with another person. This is a gentle, elegiac, beautifully illustrated work, well worth investing time and money into.Ī semi-autobiographical story, Blankets moves between two phases of the narrator Craig’s life: his childhood days, sharing (and squabbling over) a single bed with his kid brother Phil and his years as a confused adolescent, finding some comfort in an intense but fragile relationship with a girl named Raina. I have it on DVD, but it’s difficult to read a big book for the first time on a computer screen (tactile experience, convenience, etc). Just had to pick up Craig Thompson’s graphic novel Blankets when I saw it at Full Circle in Greater Kailash. ![]()
