Through straightforward drawings and simple dialogue, the artist explores, with a perspective gained through time, the evolution of his grief. Poignant, engaging, and philosophical, Nilsens graphic memoir documents loss and is a testament to grieving. As intelligently written and beautifully drawnwhether simply or intricatelyas anything else this front-runner in his generation of comics artists has done. When such commemorations are undertaken as honestly, effectively and evocatively as here, the result is simply, devastatingly, unforgettably magical.?
