Description
Stitches: A Memoir
This searing graphic memoir recounts David Small's terrifying childhood experience after a supposedly harmless operation left him mute and with cancer. With vivid, kaleidoscopic images, Small re-creates the gothic family drama that unfolded as he struggled to cope with his illness.
As the story unfolds, we gain insight into the complex relationships within Small's family, where anxiety, frustration, and rage simmered just below the surface. This powerful coming-of-age tale is a testament to the human spirit's ability to survive and thrive in the face of adversity.
