A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"Walden's a master at building ecosystems --things that move and imply movement elsewhere, chains of events. The protagonist, the dying child, provides a solemn, regretful narrative that reveals just enough, always. The comic is a masterpiece. A best of the year, but really, a best of all time." --J. A. Micheline, Comics Bulletin "This book is a major coup for Avery Hill Publishing who will, no doubt, be able to say in years to come that they launched the career of one of the medium's future foremost practitioners. You're unlikely to read anything else this year that so fully manipulates the pure mechanics of the comics form to the degree that The End of Summer does. It really is that remarkable a piece of work." --Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier

"Debut of the year. Walden's storytelling is superb... her control, panel to panel, beat to beat, page to page is quite breathtaking. An epic tale of sorrow and loss, of growing up, of human nature. It's a book that not only rewards repeated reads but pretty much demands it. Excellent and highly recommended." --Richard Bruton, Forbidden Planet International

"Walden's story is a beautiful moment in time caught with pen and ink that takes us to a new world even as it breaks our hearts with the cruelty of family." --Scott Cederlund, Newsarama

"Extremely poetic and beautiful... easily one of the best comics that I've read in a long time." --The Mindless Ones podcast

"There are a hundred things I enjoyed about Tillie Walden's debut, The End Of Summer, but foremost is her knack for depicting the anatomy, gestures and movements of cats." --The Beguiling

"The End of Summer is a beautiful and haunting Gothic narrative about Lars, his twin sister Maja, and their extended family, trapped inside a mansion. With its complex interweaving of personal and political secrets, as well as its playful and surreal setting, The End of Summer is not unlike a modern Gormenghast. A dreamy debut novel that takes at least two reads to figure out, and that's no bad thing." --Jared Shurin, Pornokitsch

"The comic has a poetic flow... Walden has a very expressive illustration style and a good eye for human interaction. A fascinating piece of fiction and a great first work." --Sequential Statement podcast

"The End of Summer really is a masterclass in manipulating the component parts of the comics form... Tillie Walden is going to be one of the biggest names in indie comics in a very short space of time. We all owe Avery Hill Publishing a debt of gratitude for getting her work out there for us to stare at in open-jawed admiration." --Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier

"An impressive debut... a beautiful looking book echoed in its lyrical plot. There is an etherealness to these characters that is well -grounded in the detailed grandeur of their surroundings. Particularly striking is the poetry of the final pages." --Aug Stone, The Quietus "Enchanting... Walden is able to just as easily spin an enchanting web of stories as she is to evoke a range of emotions from just a few sparsely illustrated panels." --Nivea Serrao, Entertainment Weekly

"The End of Summer is absolutely gorgeous, even achingly beautiful. Walden is a talent to watch closely..."--Slings & Arrows

"Walden's story is a beautiful moment in time caught with pen and ink that takes us to a new world even as it breaks our hearts with the cruelty of family. 9/10" --Newsarama
