On the Camino

pick

A memoir in comics format by the extremely introverted Jason—pseudonym for Norwegian cartoonist John Arne Saeternoy—about walking the Camino de Santiago when he turned 50. Jason‘s anthropomorphic animals in b&w clear-line art depict experiences that remind me of my own adventures on walking trips. Wonderful flights of imagination: insights into what goes on inside a brilliant mind with nothing to do but walk and think. Quiet and lovely.

Lindy PS. While I loved this, my sweetie found it kind of boring. It‘s not for everyone. 6y

On the Camino | Jason

In San Justo de la Vega I discover that I have a hole in one of my socks. In Astorga I buy a pair of sports socks for 21 euros and a Ryanair plane ticket from Santiago to Barcelona, which costs 23 euros.

Tanisha_A Sad! 6y

Lindy @Tanisha_A I don‘t find it sad, but it certainly is weird to think of the two things being of roughly the same value. 6y

I haven‘t walked the Camino, but I have walked long-distance paths in that part of the world. This memoir is bringing back a lot of memories.

Just starting my very first graphic novel and it‘s about one of my favourite things- walking the Camino- something on my bucket list!

MommyWantsToReadHerBook I'm also becoming a bit obsessed with the Camino! This book looks so fun! 7y

Miss_Kim Very sweet and simple. I‘d have liked it more with at least some ‘spiritual ‘ depth. 💕 7y

I bought the book for my parents who walked the Camino in ‘06. Also pictured @BookishMarginalia . The owner of the house we are staying in was an art gallery owner and it amuses me to take pictures of Glori in front of the Gold Digger paintings.

Hollie She looks really happy here! 😀 7y

julesG Wonderful picture of Gloria! @BookishMarginalia 7y
