Blankets by Craig Thompson

5.0

Excellent. Coming from a similar fundamentalist religious background (and currently being in a more liberal, doubting place in my faith) this graphic novel really resonated with my experience. The art is wonderful and varied, and Thompson introduces subtlety and subtext easily in a genre where that technique doesn't always work. Told in a series of flashbacks and flash-forwards, the narrative arcs in a clear pattern where the reader is allowed to discover new insights about the author/narrator organically. A quick, absorbing read.
