Hvis du synes det lyder som lidt lidt til en bog på knap 600 sider, så har du ret. Indblikket i det stærkt religiøse miljø var interessant. De er på en gang mere ekstreme og mere menneskelige end jeg havde forestillet mig. Fortællingen om forholdet til lillebroren Phil og Raina er smuk og vedkommende. Den er bare ikke noget specielt, og så er den som sagt meget længere end nødvendigt. Tegningerne er i en enkel sort/hvid streg kombineret med nogle mere drømmende sekvenser. Den understøtter historien fint, og Fahrenheit fortjener bestemt ros for at binde an med den danske udgave. Meget, meget smuk selvbiografisk grafisk roman om Craig og Rainas forholdsvis ærbare forelskelse, først på den kristne sommerlejr og siden på Craigs tre-ugers besøg hos Raina og hendes brogede familie i Michigan. Altsammen under Vorherres indoktrinerede bevogtning! Meget rørende historie og meget smukke billeder - både i tekst og tegninger. Et af genrens mesterværker!
Blankets is an attempt to rejuvenate such well-trod themes as social isolation, religious guilt, and first love; the vitality of which has become too frequently obscured by countless hackneyed dramas and endless clichés. Toward the very end of this “illustrated novel,” Craig notes, while walking in snow, how “satisfying it is to leave a mark on a blank surface.” In Blankets, Thompson does just this: through daring leaps of visual storytelling, he makes wonderfully fresh marks upon a surface long worn blank. In telling his story, which includes beautifully rendered memories of the small brutalities that parents inflict upon their children and siblings upon each other, Thompson describes the ecstasy and ache of obsession (with a lover, with God) and is unafraid to suggest the ways that obsession can consume itself and evaporate. ...credit writer-artist Craig Thompson, 27, for infusing his bittersweet tale of childhood psyche bruising, junior Christian angst, and adolescent first love with a lyricism so engaging, the pages fly right by. I would be unlikely to share Blankets with someone who told me they wanted to understand comix. Instead, I would give it to anyone who told me they wanted to read a book that made them feel transcendent, sad, generous, hopeful — but above all, to truly feel something. Part teen romance novel, part coming-of-age novel, part faith-in-crisis novel and all comix, "Blankets" is a great American novel. HæderspriserNotable Lists
