Sinossi
In questa nuova opera Noah Van Sciver rievoca gli anni della sua fanciullezza, raccontando la lotta di suo padre contro la depressione, il crollo della sua famiglia e l'amara conclusione di una relazione romantica, vent'anni dopo. Un romanzo di formazione che è insieme il ritratto di una generazione di persone fatte a pezzi dalla vita, che non lottano più per gli ideali ma semplicemente per restare a galla e sopravvivere in una società resa spietata dalla crisi economica. 133 è il numero civico della casa che ha visto l'infanzia dell'autore.

One Dirty Tree is a short memoir that jumps between two different times in Noah Van Sciver’s life: 1994, aged 10, and living with his family (his mom, himself and his 7 siblings are pictured on the cover – Mormons, eh?), and 2014, aged 30, as he completes the first Fante Bukowski book and disentangl Leggi tutto
I love everything Noah Van Sciver does, from Saint Cole through his biography of Lincoln, The Hypo, to the hilarious Fante Bukowski, and now his first memoir, which tacks back and forth between sweet/crazy anecdotes of his growing up in a house numbered 133 with a crooked tree in front of it--he and Leggi tutto
I would prefer for my favorite comic book artist to be a woman but someone's going to have to kill Noah Van Sciver.
One Dirty Tree is a memoir in comics form. The title refers to the house number--133--where Noah grew up. He was the second youngest of a large Mormon family, and grew up in relative poverty. He intercuts scenes from his childhood with the present day, showing us the possible roots of his current ou Leggi tutto
This graphic memoir is filled with intriguing moments, especially from Van Sciver's childhood, but he fails to jell those moments into a coherent satisfying work. The book is divided into three parts: Van Sciver narrates from a framing sequence set in 2017, recounts his childhood starting in 1994, an Leggi tutto
All of my NVS reviews probably come off as hyperbolic fanboy shit but quite frankly he is this generation’s R. Crumb. This one is an autobiographical look at Noah’s childhood intermixed with some present day scenes. Incredible book and published by the always awesome Uncivilized. Can anyone direct m Leggi tutto
Graphic novel memoirs are more to my fiancee’s taste, but this way I do get to read things I normally might not have, which is usually great. So this book appeared in our lives and I figured I’d check it out. At how quickly it reads (maybe 30 minutes) there’s really no reason not to, but memoirs are Leggi tutto
Whoa, I read a lot of graphic memoirs. And this book doesn't make me want to stop.
