Last Look Zusammenfassung

Last Look Charles Burns

A sleazy, slow-burning, page-turning exploration of a midlife crisis. Hes not a million miles off [a Noble Prize].
Thomas W. Hodgkinson, a Spectator Book of the Year

Charles Burns graphic trilogy has been hailed as one of the masterpieces of the form. Now readers can find the long strange trip of Doug in all its mind-bending, heartbreaking totality. The fragments of the past collide with the reality of the present, nightmarish dreams evolve into an even more dreadful reality, and when you finally find out where all of this has been going, and what it means ... it will make you go right back to the first page and read it all again with new eyes. Just like Doug.

Last Look Bewertungen

Now Ive read Sugar Skull, named after the macabre sweets we saw our hero, Doug, buying in the last frame of The Hive, its clear to me that the only thing to do is to go right back to the beginning of the saga and start again, the better to be sure I havent missed some essential symbol or sign, some deeply buried meaning. My strong feeling is that this series is one of the most vividly drawn and painfully honest expositions of male guilt Ive ever read. But I cant be definitive about this. Burns isnt in the business of neat endings. -- Rachel Cooke * Observer *
Burns brings it all together in Sugar Skull. I dont know which impressed me more the slow build-up, over three books, to the revelation and knowledge that the final volume delivers, changing entirely how we see Doug, or the way in which Burns pulls his pieces together into such a coherent whole. -- Neel Mukherjee * New Statesman *
Charles Burns's comics are fluid, smooth and as solidly built as a vintage TV set, but they shudder with the chill of the uncanny. * New York Times *
[Last Look] bring[s] together one of the most intricate and seamlessly told stories in the history of graphic novels. * Vice Magazine *
As much grotesque fun as it was reading these books instalment by instalment, Last Look is absolutely the way it should be read. And re-read. And then read again. * Bookmunch *
