About this item

Collecting the first two graphic novels from "one of the most talented graphic novelists in the UK" (Zadie Smith) , Other People brings Joff Winterhart and his penchant for endearing, peculiar couples to the US for the first time.Evocatively wrought and gorgeously illustrated, Other People collects Days of the Bagnold Summer and Driving Short Distances, first published in the UK to wide acclaim. In Bagnold Summer - which The Observer proclaimed "graphic novel of the year," and which received a Costa Award nomination for best novel - a teenager spends a long summer with his mother, much to his disappointment. Capturing the dynamics of family and growing up, Winterhart captures the ennui, pathos, and affection of the mother-son relationship.
