A beguiling wordless fable, and a hymn to the natural world - from one of the finest British graphic novelists at work today
Nick Hayes is the author of The Rime of the Modern Mariner, an updating of Coleridge's famous poem, and the visual biography Woody Guthrie and the Dust Bowl Ballads, both of which are among the most highly regarded of recent British long-form comics. He has also published two collections of his short comics, Lovely Grey Day and 11 Folk Songs. He is the founding editor of Meat magazine, a periodical showcasing new writing, comics and illustration and has won two Guardian Media awards.
This beautiful book is a reminder that hope can nest in unexpected
surroundings.
*Guardian*
[The] master of the long-form comics… This is a picture book of an
odd and eerie beauty.
*National Geographic Traveler*
[It] makes an eloquent case for what comics can say by refusing to
say anything, at least with language… Obviously beautiful… The
story is elegantly expressed by the form… I can’t think of many
non-graphic novels published this year that match the emotional
force and formal deftness of [Cormorance].
*Literary Review*
Fantastic… A bereavement for a child must be utterly devastating,
confusing and forever haunting, and I think Nick approaches this
subject in a very clever and thoughtful way… The momentum pulls you
through the narrative, leading you to fantastic pull-out spreads of
natural wonder.
