David retreats into his artwork and his imagination and tries to deal with seeming unable to fit in anywhere as best he can. The story of what David Small went through as a kid seems almost too weird to be true, and this is another one of those childhood trauma memoirs that makes you wonder what the hell is wrong with people and get a sense of feeling unsafe in this world, regardless of whether you had a stable upbringing or not.ĭavid Small and his brother live with self-absorbed and criminally negligent parents who never should have had kids, his mom is a sexually frustrated closeted lesbian and his dad seems to care about his job and literally nothing else. A lot of popular memoirs seem to be about kids growing up in absolutely terrible families, and this is no exception. Well, I’ve been reading a lot more graphic novels lately, and Stitches seems to be one of those ones everyone who is serious about the genre tells you to read. ![]()
