Do not know what to do with your evening, there is nothing to see on TV? Take about 600 pages of Blankets, you will not regret it. Here is a new confirmation that the autobiographical genre adapts particularly well to the comic. Blankets (French blankets) Mixing childhood memories (when he shared his blanket with his little brother) and adolescence (when his first love gives him a blanket she sewed, inevitably, with love) of the author, eldest son of a family for less austere in a small town lost in the end American Midwest background. Not only is it a very effective album (difficult to close once it started), but 600 pages, Craig Thompson has plenty of time to raise the weight of family ties, the difference (in a region where Boys who do not dream of becoming American football star are considered suspicious), religion (from a Puritan family, his parents intended him for the priesthood) and more generally in adolescence (obviously particularly painful period for authors to comics). To summarize, this Blankets is very easy to access (notably more than the rather obscure "Goodbye, Chunky Rice" the same Craig Thompson) and really really well (as the professional critics). We end regretting that it does not couple hundred more pages.
