“There are few younger comics artists with whom I feel a genuine aesthetic kinship, but the radiant and glowing Dockwood is Jon McNaught’s loveliest argument yet for the beauty of just being alive. It’s a gem.” Chris Ware, author of Jimmy Corrigan and Building Stories.

Dockwood is a small town in South East England, population 26,000. It is home to a bowling alley, a boating lake and Willowbrook Outlet Village.

It’s a cloudy Tuesday in October and the residents of the town are going about their business as usual. In Elmsview Nursing Home, a kitchen porter dutifully prepares lunch for residents. Elsewhere, a council worker sweeps the fallen leaves from the pavements. Along Nettlefield Road, a paperboy is delivering his daily round. And in the trees, swallows gather noisily in preparation for their annual migration.

In this new work, Jon McNaught weaves together the everyday lives of three locals against an evocative backdrop of autumnal transitions. Bittersweet and contemplative, Dockwood is for anyone who believes the stories that take place within life’s small moments can often be the most meaningful of all.

用户评价

Bookoff淘的二手书，但是跟新的一样。这本书细节做得超好，通过环境（周遭）的变化，来表达人的感情，总之把握得很妙。但整本书读完就是很致郁。两个秋天的简单小故事，比较喜欢第一个故事在老人院里面一段对话，“你知道m先生死了吗？”“谁？”“12号房的。”“哦我挺喜欢他的。”以及第二个故事“how is your school?""fine."这段的画

淡蓝橙交织 放缓的行动与画面 故事简单有点致郁 消夏 最后第五p格外喜欢
