Dave: IMG Jim Lynch Makes Landscape Art... Out of Text

3 comments By Dave

jimlynchIf Carl Hiaasen set one of his novels on a residential stretch of boundary line between British Columbia and Washington, or if Richard Russo's characters had relatives in the Pacific Northwest, the result might be something like Jim Lynch's Border Songs. Continue »

Publisher Comments:

With an ensemble cast straight from a box of Animal Crackers, this is a delightful tale of ambition, morality, and self-discovery drawn in a decidedly beautiful fashion reminiscent of Richard Scary and Lewis Trondheim, yet utterly unique. Renier's fully-realized and compellingly adventurous narrative is at once both achingly naive and profoundly worldly. A remarkable debut, this tightly crafted novella is the real deal, and will charm your socks off.

This is a fun graphic novel, but I found it lacking in some respects. Parts of it really shine -- moments of awkwardness between the teenage animals in the book (an elephant named Turnip, a rabbit named Ana, an ambitious and popular dog named Stucky), occasional wild flights of imagination -- but overall I found that the plot was needlessly confused, and I often felt that there was too much information and too much action packed into very small panels. So I didn't feel it was a wholly successful effort, but it's definitely worth a read.
