Blankets. Graphic Novel

"Blankets" is an autobiographical novel in which Craig Thompson speaks about the struggles and doubts accompanying coming of age through the language of comics. The events of this candid memoir unfold against the backdrop of winter landscapes in the Midwest of the USA and depict provincial life in a Christian family, where the strictness of upbringing is proportional to the strictness of faith. "Blankets" is an expressive portrait of vulnerable adolescence: loneliness and confusion, first love and a broken heart, crisis of faith and self-discovery. Thompson's vivid drawings and his extraordinary graphic compositions make this story recognizable and understandable to readers of different generations anywhere in the world.
