<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The #1 "New York Times" bestseller and National Book Award finalist "breaks new ground for graphic novels."--Francois Mouly, art editor, "The New Yorker."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>David Small, a best-selling and highly regarded children's book illustrator, comes forward with this unflinching graphic memoir. Remarkable and intensely dramatic, Stitches tells the story of a fourteen-year-old boy who awakes one day from a supposedly harmless operation to discover that he has been transformed into a virtual mute--a vocal cord removed, his throat slashed and stitched together like a bloody boot. From horror to hope, Small proceeds to graphically portray an almost unbelievable descent into adolescent hell and the difficult road to physical, emotional, and artistic recovery.</p><p>A National Book Award finalist; winner of the ALA's Alex Award; a #1 <em>New York Times</em> graphic bestseller; <em>Publishers Weekly</em> and <em>Washington Post</em> Top Ten Books of the Year, <em>Los Angeles Times</em> Favorite Book, ALA Great Graphic Novels, <em>Booklist</em> Editors Choice Award, Huffington Post Great Books of 2009, <em>Kirkus Reviews</em> Best of 2009, <em>Village Voice</em> Best Graphic Novel, finalist for two 2010 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards (Best Writer/Artist: Nonfiction; Best Reality-Based Work).</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A breathtaking, horrific, and ultimately redemptive work.-- "Miami Herald"<br><br>David Small's <em>Stitches</em> is a master class in how to use silence, both internal and external, to convey emotion and meaning.--Jo Ann Beard "New York Times Book Review"<br><br>Small...employs angled shots and silent montages worthy of Alfred Hitchcock.-- "Washington Post"<br><br>A profound and moving gift of graphic literature that has the look of a movie and reads like a poem.--Jules Feiffer<br>
