Les petits riens de Lewis Trondheim

review 1: I forgot November only had 30 days, and that I was starting this on November 30, and thought I'd be able to squeeze this onto my Fall shelf, and start Winter off with "Infinite Jest," and be able to look at my Winter shelf and see "Infinite Jest" there, pristine in its solitude, but that all fell apart like a goddamn burrito. Anyhow, this book is pretty quaint. The least exciting pages still left me feeling a "Hm. Well then" of contentment. It was worth the risk.
review 2: the best bits are the interactions at Angouelme between Trondheim & other cartoonists (Joann Sfar, Christophe Blain, Moebius) drawn in his inimitable anthropormophic style. these comics were all originally part of his blog. i also liked his relentless (okay just two) criticisms of CSI, "The... more series that's neither for scriptwriters nor scientists." it's not gonna win him the grand prize at Angouelme or anything, but it has that nice slight observational humor about it that Seinfeld raised Americans should love. less
