Blankets is the story of a young man coming of age and finding the
confidence to express his creative voice. Craig Thompson's poignant
graphic memoir plays out against the backdrop of a Midwestern
winterscape: finely-hewn linework draws together a portrait of
small town life, a rigorously fundamentalist Christian childhood,
and a lonely, emotionally mixed-up adolescence. Under an engulfing
blanket of snow, Craig and Raina fall in love at winter church
camp, revealing to one another their struggles with faith and their
dreams of escape. Over time though, their personal demons resurface
and their relationship falls apart. It's a universal story, and
Thompson's vibrant brushstrokes and unique page designs make the
familiar heartbreaking all over again. This groundbreaking graphic
novel, winner of two Eisner and three Harvey Awards, is an eloquent
portrait of adolescent yearning; first love (and first heartache);
faith in crisis; and the process of moving beyond all of that.
Beautifully rendered in pen and ink, Thompson has created a
timeless love story.
