The spiraling city and vibrant colors give the world a surreal, out-of-time quality, like a violent dream. Unlike in macho tales of grit and glory, Singelin infuses his story and characters with deep, simmering warmth...This is a gorgeous meditation on the lingering horrors of war. --<i>Publishers Weekly, </i><b>starred review <p/></b>French-Laotian creator Singelin creates a gritty and suffocatingly detailed atmosphere, with candy-coated coloring that ebbs into a grimy color wash...Teens interested in cutting-edge comics will appreciate this eerie tale. --<i>School Library Journal </i> <p/>How are we meant to feel about the violence that has undone so many? Its moral, however, is unassailable: to reconnect with the world, you must lend a helping hand to others but--equally important--accept one when it's offered to you. Having a scrappy dog at your side can't hurt, either. --<i>Booklist</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Guillaume Singelin</b> is a comic book artist and illustrator living in France.
