review 1: I found a number of good comics at the Shatin public library recently, including A Taste of Chlorine. There's not much dialogue. The story is about a young man who has back problems and is told by his chiropractor to go swimming at a pool. He meets a girl who teaches him how to swim.The book doesn't explore any grand themes, but but I like its examination of what it means to get to know someone in brief bursts and the feeling that we're all looking for someone to connect with.
review 2: I read it twice from the middle to make more sense of it (if 'reading' is the right term, as there is almost no dialogue in this book). I loved the free, loose style of drawing here and the color scheme. I could smell the pool and feel the suffocation of an unskilled swimme... morer. A boy with curvature of the spine must start swimming to strengthen his back. An ex local champion begins to give him some tips, then mouths something to him underwater one day. After the secret message, he never sees her again, but keeps going to the pool to find her. Did she say 'I love you'? Was her friendship a figment of his imagination to make the swimming more interesting? I don't need to know. less
