Nine Ways to Disappear by Lilli Carré

The charmingly peculiar short stories collected in Nine Ways to Disappear revolve loosely around the theme of disappearance and mark a new form for Lilli Carré. Skillfully drawn single panels explore a rich imagined world where actions have unexpected consequences and loneliness pervades, but not without a sense of the absurd. The stories read like vignettes that can span a day or decades, all drawn within a bordered page in intimate detail. Each story unfolds quickly and features characters that run the gamut: joke-writing sisters gone awry, a wandering sleepwalker, a pearl with curious properties, an elusive coughing neighbor, a wide-eyed girl of questionable appeal, even a storm drain. Whether animate or inanimate, sweet or monstrous, Lilli has the ability to infuse them all with pathos, humanity, and humor. <ul> <li>printed in Oakland, CA by a family-run printer</li> <li>soy-based inks on 100% post-consumer recycled paper</li> <li>interior pages blue ink on natural paper</li> <li>5.25" wide x 5" tall, 192 pages</li> <li>recommended for mature readers</li> </ul> Reviews: “…takes discomfort as its starting point and aestheticizes it into fluid Symbolist imagery.
