Big Questions de Anders Nilsen
3.5. The incredibly beautiful artwork and poignant philosophical musings are often overshadowed somewhat by the fact that all the finch characters are exactly identical, so determining who is doing what and when, especially given the episodic nature of the narrative, is often very difficult. Also, not sure how I feel about the character of the Idiot--he seems like a needlessly literal and somewhat insensitive rendering of the Holy Fool archetype.
A very quick read (took all of 30 minutes, maybe 45) but the art is beautiful and the stories fun and thought provoking.
What would Poseidon do faced with our current total disregard for the world's oceans?
What would Prometheus think of what his gift has wrought?
What if Isaac was old enough to engage with Abraham on the mountain, what would he have thought of the whole thing?
These and a few more questions are tackled in the pages (well, page since the book is one long accordion reminiscent of the scrolls on which these stories are based) of this book.
As a side note, I really want to find a way to showcase the entirety of this accordion of pictures at once. But the length of wall necessary to do so is rather out of my price range.… (més)

My first time reading anything by this author. I enjoyed the novel and found the approach to storytelling and being a graphic novel different than anything I've previously read. Definitely this book has a tone and style all to its own. I enjoyed the birds and different characters. I think more could have been done to keep the story moving in different ways, at time I found the pace a bit slow. Overall would be interested in reading other novels by this author.
I don't read a lot of comics, but Anders Nilsen's minimalist, philosophical, anthropomorphic work called to me. His artwork is seductive and the slowly paced and dreamlike plot through these 600 pages and ten years of Nilsen's work kind of just draws you in.
