In Waves
In Waves | A. J. Dungo
5 posts | 7 read | 7 to read
A tale of love, heartbreak and surfing from an important new voice in comics. In Waves is Craig Thompson's Blankets meets Barbarian Days. In this visually arresting graphic novel, surfer and illustrator AJ Dungo remembers his late partner, her battle with cancer, and their shared love of surfing that brought them strength throughout their time together. With his passion for surfing uniting many narratives, he intertwines his own story with those of some of the great heroes of surf in a rare work of nonfiction that is as moving as it is fascinating.

Part history of the early days of surfing, part graphic memoir about the love of the author‘s life, and the dawning realization that grief and the ocean share commonalities.

I‘ll be finishing I Capture the Castle today, so I picked up my library holds this morning. Pigs in Heaven is my #AuthoraMonth read (I read The Beans Trees in Oct, so figured now‘s a good time to read the sequel). Bloomability is a #roll100 read, the rest are #bookspinbingo squares. Working those reading challenges 💪 #librarystack

My first book of 2020! A touching and emotional graphic novel about the ocean and love and loss.

I've read a lot of graphic memoirs pertaining to grief and loss, and this one was decent but I felt like it was missing something. It didn't feel as deep, and spent more time on the history of surfing rather than working on connecting with the reader- and the connection to the history of surfing felt kind of non-existent and out of place.
