Finalist for the 2009 National Book Award and finalist for two 2010 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards: the prize-winning children’s author depicts a childhood from hell in this searing yet redemptive graphic memoir.
One day David Small awoke from a supposedly harmless operation to discover that he had been transformed into a virtual mute. A vocal cord removed, his throat slashed and stitched together like a bloody boot, the fourteen-year-old boy had not been told that he had cancer and was expected to die.
In Stitches, Small, the award-winning children’s illustrator and author, re-creates this terrifying event in a life story that might have been imagined by Kafka. As the images painfully tumble out, one by one, we gain a ringside seat at a gothic family drama where David―a highly anxious yet supremely talented child―all too often became the unwitting object of his parents’ buried frustration and rage.
Believing that they were trying to do their best, David’s parents did just the reverse. Edward Small, a Detroit physician, who vented his own anger by hitting a punching bag, was convinced that he could cure his young son’s respiratory problems with heavy doses of radiation, possibly causing David’s cancer. Elizabeth, David’s mother, tyrannically stingy and excessively scolding, ran the Small household under a cone of silence where emotions, especially her own, were hidden.
Depicting this coming-of-age story with dazzling, kaleidoscopic images that turn nightmare into fairy tale, Small tells us of his journey from sickly child to cancer patient, to the troubled teen whose risky decision to run away from home at sixteen―with nothing more than the dream of becoming an artist―will resonate as the ultimate survival statement.
A silent movie masquerading as a book, Stitches renders a broken world suddenly seamless and beautiful again. Finalist for the 2009 National Book Award (Young Adult); finalist for two 2010 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards (Best Writer/Artist: Nonfiction; Best Reality-Based Work).
David Small is the recipient of the Caldecott Medal, the Christopher Medal, and the E. B. White Award for his picture books, which include Imogene’s Antlers, The Gardener, and So, You Want to Be President? He and his wife, the writer Sarah Stewart, live in Michigan.
acknowledging the truth instead of escaping from it brings up not just the sadness but also the ultimate right solution. Very nice book.

作者戴维•斯摩尔通过绘本的方式向我们栩栩生动地叙述了自己童年的经历,同时让我们窥见美国的二十世纪五十年代——人们心存战争的恐惧,复苏经济,坚信科学能够解决一切问题的岁月。绘本中的主人翁戴维是那个时代的试验品,也是一个缺失爱的家庭的牺牲品。 身为...
评分戴维是不幸的,出生时呼吸系统与鼻子都有问题,身为医生的父亲认为多照射X光线可以治愈他的疾病。400次射线照射,一个不到一岁的的孩子,结局就是癌症。喉癌,就这样不明不白的植在他的身上。同性恋的母亲,知道自己得癌症对自己强作亲切的父亲,嘲笑自己的兄长,逐渐佝偻瘦弱...
评分在每一个人物的脸上都充斥着一种扭曲的变形,毫无美感可言,粗线条的晕染有另一种压抑的色调,当看多了日式画风后,这一种棱角的凛冽和色彩的阴沉让人很难对绘画本身产生喜爱,或者正如本作中小男孩戴维喜爱阅读的那本《洛丽塔》一样,整个绘本都体现出一种阴郁的冷酷。 据说...
评分据说这是作者自己的经历。能将伤口勇敢地展示出来时间好事,从某种意义上来说作者算是一个敢于直面人生惨淡的勇者。没有躲在角落舔舐伤口。你看我终于变得强大,所有积压在心里的恐惧与不安成了你手中的绘本。(此乃废兔站着说话不腰疼的YY,SORRY~) 绘本的主旋律是灰白,一个...
