'I blame the pencil. I hadn't meant to do it. I wasn't thinking. It
just happened that way.' In March 2020, as lockdowns were imposed
around the world, author and illustrator Edward Carey published a
sketch on social media with a plan to keep posting a drawing a day
from his family home in Austin, Texas, until life returned to
normal. One hundred and fifty pencil stubs later, he was still
drawing. Carey's hand moved with world events, chronicling pandemic
and politics. It reached into the past, taking inspiration from
history, and escaped grim reality through flights of vivid
imagination and studies of the natural world. The drawings became a
way of charting time, of moving forward, and maintaining connection
at a time of isolation. This remarkable collection of words and
drawings from the acclaimed author of Little and The Swallowed Man
charts a tumultuous year in pencil, finding beauty amid the horror
of extraordinary times.
