*An exploration of aging, alienation, and how our roles as parents and children change over a lifetime.
Paul is a successful and well-known author, making many appearances and signing for long lines of fans at book festivals. Yet he finds himself in his mid-fifties alone with an achy shoulder at both his drawing table and the house he once shared with his wife and daughter. Most of all, life seems to be passing him by. His loneliness is most frequently interrupted by visits with his ailing mother; a well-meaning neighbour; and the ever-changing technology that seems to entertain everyone but Paul.
This is Michel Rabagliati’s most personal book yet – a riveting, emotional, and amusing take on life’s losses and the loneliness of being closer to retirement than one might like to be. Characterized by both a deep insight and a willingness to poke fun at one’s foibles, Paul at Home is a masterwork by Quebec’s most acclaimed and award-winning cartoonist.*
Mustavalkoinen sarjakuva yhden miehen elämästä, jossa kaikki ei mene putkeen. Paul kärsii uniongelmista. Hänen äitinsä on sairas ja sisar asuu kaukana. Hän on eronnut vaimostaan ja heidän tyttärensä aikoo lähteä kauaksi pois. Lisäksi naapuri tuntuu vaativan jotain... Arjen huomioita. Elämää pienine ja vähän suurempine ongelmineen. Kokonaisuus on omalla tavallaan sympaattinen ja lämminhenkinen. Parasta ovat Paulin koiran, Cookien, kommentit.
