Idle Days | Thomas D. Brousseau

3 posts | 3 read

Depressed and unmoored by his father's violent death, and drafted into the Canadian military to serve in World War II, Jerome has fled, taking refuge in a cabin his grandfather owns in a remote part of the countryside. But Jerome's troubles are only beginning. A strange dread fills the woods, and rumors of murders and ghosts cast his refuge in a sinister light. As Jerome struggles to come to terms with his father's death, he obsessively seeks to uncover the mystery of what, exactly, happened in his grandfather's house. Simon Leclerc's haunting, expressionistic artwork brings to life a quiet, layered, and deeply literary story from writer Thomas Desaulniers-Brousseau, in a graphic novel that explores with tenderness and insight the wounds opened with the loss of a loved one.

so-so

I picked up this graphic novel for the art, which is beautiful, but the characters are not nearly as detailed in the panels as on the cover. It was hard to follow the plot, if there was one. I really enjoyed the supernatural elements (or were they?) and the characters were compelling, as was the main character‘s problem as a WWII deserter and the loosely-sketched themes of death and fear, but it didn‘t come to a satisfying conclusion.

Litsy is encouraging me to be the first to post about this book, so I will. I picked it up from the new book shelf at my library because I loved the art style. I‘m only a few pages in and I don‘t know what it‘s about but the art continues to be great.
