Blankets
(Drawn and Quarterly)A devastating graphic memoir, Craig Thompson’s Blankets feels like, to paraphrase beloved 90’s artist Seal, a soft kiss from a rose – and then a poke from the thorns. It’s a coming of age romance about Thompson’s experiences at church camp, which those of us raised religious know that that’s exactly the place where sticky adolescent entanglements happen The devout young Craig crosses paths with Raina, a fundamentalist questioning her faith. As the pair cuddle up for warmth in the Midwestern winter, the fires of their own inner turmoil ending up burning their relationship to ash. Love can be hard, young love can be harder, and squaring young love with family pressures, adolescent angst and the loss of faith? I can’t imagine anything much harder. Except for the chorus of “Kiss From A Rose,” that chorus goes hard.
