Sinopsis

This superbly evocative graphic novella by the award-winning Norwegian cartoonist Jason (his first appearance in the English language) starts off as a melancholy childhood memoir and then, with a shocking twist midway through, becomes the summary of lives lived, wasted, and lost. Like Art Spiegelman did with Maus, Jason utilizes anthropomorphic stylizations to reach deeper, more general truths, and to create elegantly minimalist panels whose emotional depth-charge comes as an even greater shock.

Críticas

I still think of Hey, Wait as [Jason's] best work, the most nuanced, the most beguiling. Even rereading it before writing this, there are so many things I feel like I only half-understand, images that hint at something I can never grasp all the way.... If you haven't read Hey, Wait yet, mm-mm, you've got some good reading ahead of you. --Dustin Harbin

Careful--think twice before you read this book. It's is very, very beautiful, but it will utterly break your heart. --Dylan Horrocks, author of Hicksville

Now this is a heartbreaking work of staggering genius. Don't walk, run to your nearest bookstore and check it out. --Rob Neyer ""What Rob is Reading" ""

I was just as excited and devastated as the first time I read the poems of Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman. Jason's work is poetry. Beautiful and frightening. Redemptive and hopeless. He is the Kafka and Keats of the comic world. --Sherman Alexie"

[A] touching ode to childhood but it's a very disturbing one as well. --Arnold T. Blumberg"

A remarkable first graphic novel that's hauntingly evocative. --S. A. Bennett"

Depressing, technically accomplished, and full of little touches and images that linger in the memory yes, it's a typical Fantagraphics book. --Phil Mateer"

If you read this book, you'll be thinking about it for weeks. "

Careful think twice before you read this book. It's is very, very beautiful, but it will utterly break your heart. --Dylan Horrocks, author of Hicksville"

Will insinuate itself into your consciousness and make you appreciate much more the remaining moments of your life.--Alan David Doane ""10 Essential Graphic Novels" "
