Glyn Dillon’s comics illustrations have appeared in several works from Vertigo, including The Sandman. He has also worked as an artist, animator, and designer in film and television. He lives in London, England.
Twenty-eight-year-old Nao Brown, who’s hafu (half Japanese, half English), is not well. She’s suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and fighting violent urges to harm other people. But that’s not who she really wants to be. Nao has dreams. She wants to quiet her unruly mind; she wants to get her design and illustration career off the ground; and she wants to find love, perfect love.
Nao’s life continues to seesaw. Her boyfriend dumps her; a toy deal falls through. But she also meets Gregory, an interesting washing-machine repairman, and Ray, an art teacher at the Buddhist Center. She begins to draw and meditate to ease her mind and open her heart—and in doing so comes to a big realization: Life isn’t black-and-white after all . . . it’s much more like brown.
Praise for The Nao of Brown:
“Lushly rendered, passionately digressive” —The New York Times
“Dillon turns in a narrative tour de force, featuring a script that works in perfect concert with almost cinematic art reminiscent of Milo Manara, but with far more expressive characters. A triumph of comics for grownups, this is a must-read.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“The art in The Nao of Brown is absolutely gorgeous . . . An intense story about a young woman who fights as hard to get out of her own head as some superheroes fight to save the world.” —The Onion’s A.V. Club
“This was the best read I have had in a long time.” —Scott Stantis, cartoonist for the Chicago Tribune
“Dillon makes his grand return in what can only be described as a visual spectacle.” —The Beat
“Amazing artwork; a truly novelistic piece of storytelling, full of wisdom and compassion; and a book which is a beautiful artifact, a treat for those of a bibliophilic inclination.” —Comic Book Resources
“The battles are internal, but no less monumental for all of that. Such inner wars made Sandman a classic, and I have no doubt that Dillon’s graphic novel will likewise be regarded as a seminal work in comic art.” —The Houston Press Art Attack blog
“Psychologically complex and surprising.” —Paste Magazine
“It’s a masterpiece, and I really can’t recommend it enough.” —Comic Book Resources
“Penciled and watercolored by hand, the pages glow with a lush realism, even in their darkest moments. The ever present motif of red can either anchor or engulf the reader, but always provides a vibrant glimpse into Nao’s life.” —Asian Fortune News
从拿到《The NAO of Brown》之初,就有点期待“要是能出中文版就好了”。一方面是英文真看不太懂,再是觉得好漫画,就应该被更多人看到。不过终归没报什么希望——这种题材不娱乐、作者不知名、情节口味“重”的非主流漫画,出中文版的概率几乎是没有的。 然后就被喜闻乐见地打...
评分这篇书评没什么深刻见解,没什么分析,只有我有的,你们没有的感受。 我是一名真正的强迫症患者,与主人公的症状很像,不是重复动作的那种,而是重复思维的那种,就像主人公一样,我治疗强迫症将近四年,试过森田疗法,试过冥想,吃过许多神经类药物,百忧解,安律凡,怡诺思。...

评分一、读后感 直到读《棕色的世界》(以下简称《棕》)之前,我从来没有怀疑过自己的强迫属性可能把我逼疯。我觉得,精神病是别人的事,我知道自己至少是理智可控的。 我现在对自己这种坐井观天的洋洋自得感到羞愧。 这本书给我一种久违的阅读体验。我深陷其中,正如前言所写,好...

评分如今越来越喜欢这种以亚洲女性为角度写的故事。两性间的争吵也是。Chris
