Small is an award-winning illustrator of children's books, but his own childhood was neither blissful nor – to quote Larkin again – a forgotten boredom. If this isn't the definition of a satisfying literary experience, I don't know what is. And yet it can be read in just a little over an hour. It is subtle its characters are beautifully worked it makes deft use of metaphor and simile. ![]() A moving story about the way man hands on misery to man, it also captures, seemingly effortlessly, the repression and double standards of the 1950s. Now out from the same publisher in the UK, it is a wonderful thing. A nyone yet to be convinced by the grand claims made for graphic novels by people like me should look at David Small's Stitches, a memoir which, when it came out in the US last year, was shortlisted for a National Book Award. ![]()

The New York Times’ long-serving television editor Jack Gould complained in 1952 that filmed shows for television were often of poor quality and rudimentary acting.

Somehow, in my mind, the more vividly green the leaves in the salad, the more purifying the ritual will feel, and with that first crunch on a crisp piece of greenery, I hear a tiny voice in my head, murmuring, “ The next day was Sunday again. The day after I’ve partaken in some sort of weekend or holiday eating-and-drinking binge-i.e., the Monday after the Super Bowl, the fifth of July, the first week of January after the entire Thanksgiving-through-New Year’s season officially comes to a close-I engage in the same detoxifying, repenting ritual: the consumption of a fresh, nutrient-rich salad. ![]() ![]() ![]() It happens pretty much the same way every time. ![]() ![]() The readers: Jennifer and Eric, a college senior and a disgraced grad student, both facing crucial decisions about who they are, who they might become, and how much they're willing to trust another person with their passions, hurts, and fears.

But Guadagnino’s seventh feature is unlikely to remind most viewers of that, or any of the other hybrid horror dramas that have come our way since Let the Right One In.
