书籍介绍
At 592 pages, Blankets may well be the single largest graphic novel ever published without being serialized first. Wrapped in the landscape of a blustery Wisconsin winter, Blankets explores the sibling rivalry of two brothers growing up in the isolated country, and the budding romance of two coming-of-age lovers. A tale of security and discovery, of playfulness and tragedy, of a fall from grace and the origins of faith. A profound and utterly beautiful work from Craig Thompson. The New Printing corrects 3 small typos, widening the spine graphics, but otherwise is identical to the first printing.

用户评论
忧伤的初恋往事
皑皑白雪下的故事。对情感的描写极其细腻,画风也非常有表现力,看得人仿佛跟着作者一起经历了童年和初恋QAQ,遗憾又充实。TIME的评论太到位了,“Achingly beautiful”。读完之后把书放在一边,仅仅看着这么厚厚一本就觉得安心。
A quite bittersweet come-of-age story. Love the brotherhood part the most.
第一遍看完。关于信仰、家庭、成长和爱情,非常细腻忧伤的故事。中间略嫌拖沓,节奏控制稍有欠缺,想必作者自己也沉溺于初恋的甜蜜回忆不愿自拔了。开头是最棒的部分,尤其第一章,叙事结构非常精彩。整个看下来最喜欢的部分就是他和弟弟Phil的那些童年回忆。回头需要抱着词典再看一遍。
A very lovely, biographical, coming-of-age story. 虽然很厚,但是绘本,一下午就能看完了,推荐。
全书没有激烈的戏剧冲突,有的只是对长大过程中信仰转变、体验初爱的娓娓平叙,但总有细节能与自身成长经历的耦合之处深深共鸣。以Blankets为题,但这其中最重要的理由,也是最关键的那条Blanket,是那条初恋中获得的纹理多样的手织毛毯。无疾而终也好,慢慢消逝也罢,苦涩的初恋之味总是令人难以忘怀。
太神了
coming-of-age自传体。画风非常美丽细腻,线条流畅, 准确表达了那个敏感少年丰富的内心世界。近六百页的图像小说,并没有复杂的情节冲突,整体感觉就是很温暖又有点伤感。书中回忆了童年时和弟弟的打闹,在深厚传统的基督教文化中被养育长大,自己对信仰的追求和困惑,直到最后脱离了教会。 占主要篇幅的是关于作者初恋的故事,并主要围绕在女友家度过的那个短暂的假期展开。作者笔下的年轻恋人之间的缠绵既充满欲望又如天使般纯洁,把十七、八岁那个年龄里的爱情写得那样美好又脆弱。 真是叫人感动呢。
可以列入美国21世纪文学的经典了。极大拓宽了我对绘画小说这个种类的理解。
