Finalist for the 2009 National Book Award and finalist for two 2010 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards: the prize-winning children’s author depicts a childhood from hell in this searing yet redemptive graphic memoir.
One day David Small awoke from a supposedly harmless operation to discover that he had been transformed into a virtual mute. A vocal cord removed, his throat slashed and stitched together like a bloody boot, the fourteen-year-old boy had not been told that he had cancer and was expected to die.
In Stitches, Small, the award-winning children’s illustrator and author, re-creates this terrifying event in a life story that might have been imagined by Kafka. As the images painfully tumble out, one by one, we gain a ringside seat at a gothic family drama where David―a highly anxious yet supremely talented child―all too often became the unwitting object of his parents’ buried frustration and rage.
Believing that they were trying to do their best, David’s parents did just the reverse. Edward Small, a Detroit physician, who vented his own anger by hitting a punching bag, was convinced that he could cure his young son’s respiratory problems with heavy doses of radiation, possibly causing David’s cancer. Elizabeth, David’s mother, tyrannically stingy and excessively scolding, ran the Small household under a cone of silence where emotions, especially her own, were hidden.
Depicting this coming-of-age story with dazzling, kaleidoscopic images that turn nightmare into fairy tale, Small tells us of his journey from sickly child to cancer patient, to the troubled teen whose risky decision to run away from home at sixteen―with nothing more than the dream of becoming an artist―will resonate as the ultimate survival statement.
A silent movie masquerading as a book, Stitches renders a broken world suddenly seamless and beautiful again. Finalist for the 2009 National Book Award (Young Adult); finalist for two 2010 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards (Best Writer/Artist: Nonfiction; Best Reality-Based Work).

家族遗传性沉默、压抑、愤怒、疯狂
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
作者的绘画方式极具镜头感,让人跟着镜头一步一步走进那个黑白压抑的家庭。这个家庭里的每一个人都在沉默中压抑着自己的愤怒,从外祖母到母亲,再到主人公戴维,这种沉默的疯狂在这个家庭中代代相传。 戴维的母亲是同性恋,她不爱他,在戴维感到害怕、渴望母亲的安慰时,母亲却... (展开)最痛的伤口要用最美的方式包扎

逃避并不可耻,离去才是治愈的开端
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
每一个痛苦压抑的孩子背后必定都站着一对病而不自知的父母。 在书店看到这本《缝不起来的童年》时,我脑海里莫名浮现出这样一句话,这是一本图像小说,如书封推荐所说的那样,像是一部漫长的成长胶片,倒映着一个家庭沉默压抑的过往。 一、生命的孕育是一场大型的“焦虑转移” ... (展开)不认真读后感24 缝不起来的童年
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
家家都有本难念的经,每个人都只能用自己的经历来衡量世界,而对于孩子来说更是如此。 作者用画笔描绘了他的成长历程,他的痛苦,困惑,无助,愤怒到最终的探索与释然。而我就随着作者的绘画走在他们家的地板上,餐桌下;穿梭在医院和外祖母家之间;感受着从画面涌出的压力。在... (展开)无法治愈的童年:原生家庭的阴影有多大?
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
《缝不起来的童年》可以说是一本在立意主题和图像绘画方面都不算讨巧的图像小说,画面通篇是压抑的黑白灰三色,但就是这么一本一开始我并不重视的绘本,其后劲之大,让我看完后有了写点什么的冲动。 小说全书围绕着“我”戴维和原生家庭展开,我有一个做x光检测的放射科医生父... (展开)> 更多书评 22篇

作者用第一人称回忆的方式讲述了自己阴暗的童年经历。看似粗狂的画风下面藏着许多细节与元素,同是依靠情绪推动叙事,像电影剪接一样插入留白与空镜头,让读者跟着主人公的视角前进,同时里面穿插着以孩子为视角的各种魔幻现实主义的空间及人物,可以说很好的阐述了图像小说与漫画的区别。其实在读的过程中我一直是带着会有反转,或者男主的父母其实很爱他的想法去看,但有时生活就是这么残酷冰冷。我发现这本书有中文版就去翻看了... 作者用第一人称回忆的方式讲述了自己阴暗的童年经历。看似粗狂的画风下面藏着许多细节与元素,同是依靠情绪推动叙事,像电影剪接一样插入留白与空镜头,让读者跟着主人公的视角前进,同时里面穿插着以孩子为视角的各种魔幻现实主义的空间及人物,可以说很好的阐述了图像小说与漫画的区别。其实在读的过程中我一直是带着会有反转,或者男主的父母其实很爱他的想法去看,但有时生活就是这么残酷冰冷。我发现这本书有中文版就去翻看了下面的评价,发现大家其实都很喜欢图像小说,真的希望国内这块市场能起来。 (展开)

I keep recalling a line from the novelist and poet Edward Dahlberg: “Nobody heard her tears; the heart is a foundation of weeping water which make no noise in the world.”
