Powerful read!

Paul Nash was a surrealist artist and a poet. This graphic novel explores what Nash went through after WWI. The black dog is the depression he faced after the war that he had a difficult time coming to terms with.

The graphics and layout of the panels in this book change as the story progresses and the artwork alone tells a story that is incredibly moving.

There is a beauty to this darkness that will stay with me for long time.

LKK526 @Addison_Reads the black dog is supposedly what Winston Churchill called his depression 2y

LKK526 @addison_reads. Me too! I just debated whether I sounded too pompous 2y
Addison_Reads @LKK526 Not pompous at all. I worry about stuff like that too sometimes after I post though. 2y

This book is a thing of beauty. The many different styles employed by McKean are truly elegant. The book is filled with references to different periods in art history. One of McKean's greatest works.

Cinfhen What's in your bowl??? It looks delicious 😋 7y
DennisJacobRosenfeld @Cinfhen It is delicious 😃 It's skyr with banana, almonds, pomegranate, roasted coconut, and cocoa roasted granola. 7y
Cinfhen My stomach actually growled when I read those ingredients 🙌🏻💕😋 7y

DennisJacobRosenfeld @Cinfhen ❤Mission accomplished 😉 7y
Cinfhen I'm guessing skyr is similar to Greek yoghurt 7y
Cinfhen I'm currently eating no dairy, so there is probably no substitute for skyr?!? 😕😕😕 7y
DennisJacobRosenfeld @Cinfhen It's less fat and way more protein. There's a great substitute that I often eat, but you have to make it from scratch. I can send you the recipe if you like. It's a sort of porridge based on coconut milk. Really filling and tasty. 7y
Cinfhen If you wouldn't mind, I'd love the recipe! My email is cindyh666 at iCloud.com Thanks sooo much!!!! 7y
