A story about personal achievement in the art. Sometimes echoes concepts seen in Hicksville, years later in Polina: a reflection for a few but that every author should read.

Harvey Pekar’s Cleveland, starts out with a bang with Pekar’s account of the Cleveland Indians winning the 1947 World Series. Pekar, and the book’s illustrator, Joseph Remnant, do a great job of depicting this magic moment.

Quote (Silver Surfer to Warlock, towards the end):
"I'm still not able to fully understand your attitude towards the whole situation ... or towards life in general. So detached".

Larcenet is a very, very prolific author. I would say that this series is the best part, though it never hurts to read it.

I admit that I had already read in English but I could not resist to buy it also in Italian, and have reread it.
My opinion remains almost the same: good book, and I do not like unnecessary (a lot!) pages of text that make up the appendix. I disagree Chester, and it remained until the story was a good story, true, perhaps a few pages long and too complacent, but beautiful.

In a time of migration also migrate the arts: poetry first, that's the migrant art par excellence.
And since you never migrates alone, poem meets his twin sister, music, and then the images and words of the comic.
An experiment of Poetry Comics.

[...] What Antonio Negri: Illustrated sheds light on is the quotidian dimension of this concept, constituent power begins in the generosity of a conversation and an offer of tea. [...]
