The Sea

By Rikke Villadsen

Book Overview

A fisherman traversing the ocean is used to danger and surprise, but what happens when he pulls up his net and catches a newborn baby and a talking fish? Thus begins a story full of provocative symbolism and a madness that doesn't just bubble beneath the surface of the water, but drenches the sailor--and reader--like a tidal wave. Danish cartoonist Rikke Villadsen makes her English-language debut with this seafaring tale soaked in surrealism that is ultimately about the end of one life, the beginning of another, and a man, literally and figuratively, lost at sea.

Gorgeous graphite renderings of the imaginary

Gorgeous graphite renderings reminiscent of Dominique Goblet. And a deceptively simple story like Tommi Parrish's Men I Trust. For adult readers who enjoy equal parts of fine art and good story telling you will want to rip the pages out and frame them whilst searching for a sailor friend.
