Everything We Miss
Everything We Miss | Luke Pearson
2 posts | 2 read
"Everything We Miss is Luke Pearson's breakthrough graphic novella, in which he brilliantly wrong-foots your every expectation, fluttering between surreal humor and deep pathos and proving the unique visual-verbal alchemy of comics to capture the ephemeral and symbolize the rawest emotions."—Paul Gravett, editor of 1001 Comics To Read Before You Die On the dawn horizon, a pine tree all too briefly uproots itself. It dances . . . and nobody sees. The low drone of the car's engine is heard and ignored from sleepy bedroom windows for miles around. Have you ever wondered what goes on in your life when you're looking the other way? Perhaps you're so drawn into what's going on with you that you fail to notice the events taking place in your periphery—or even right under your nose? In Everything We Miss, Luke Pearson explores the dying days of a failing relationship through the infinitesimal unseen moments that surround it—and us. Pearson's most ambitious project to date is a poignant and empathetic graphic novella from one of the most exciting young creators in British comics. As well as an essential showcase of Pearson's astonishing visual storytelling ability, this is a book for anyone who's ever experienced loss, or agonized about what they have yet to find. Luke Pearson, a comic book artist, author, and illustrator, lives in Tamworth, United Kingdom.

A quick poignant read. Fantastic illustrations. Dark yet funny in places (though the ending gets very dark). Grounded yet totally surreal. I wouldn't call this's must buy, but please pick it up from your library and try it out.

Starting this today. It's the shortest book from my library haul, but I really wanted to keep the momentum on my 2016 goals. I probably won't finish any of my other two books today, so this will have to do. PS, stop picking somber covers Thomas.
