Carnet de Voyage
by Craig Thompson
Cute little book of drawings from an overseas trip. His misadventures in North Africa were disturbing, but he was rewarded with Alpine beauty and serenity in Europe. I adored the drawings but didn't really warm up to the artist as a person. But don't get me wrong--I'm sure he's a great guy: sensitive, adventurous, cool and funny. I just think that pictures, not words, are how he tells his story. The captions left me frustrated for understanding, but the drawings themselves told all.
