Dogs and Water is a dreamy foray for Nilsen while still maintaining the elegance, humor, and tension of his other projects. Less overtly philosophical in the dialogue, Dogs and Water relies on encounters and actions to draw out existential quandaries and ruminations that draw me to Nilsen's work. I'm obsessed with this guy's drawing and strange dreamy story-telling. This is my favorite of all his books. Like a fairy tale without a plot, Dogs and Water follows a boy with a teddy bear strapped to his back as he walks through a desert and also is sometimes marooned at sea. The elegant art takes you into someone else’s dreamworld. You can’t explain it; you can only experience it. ponderous and contemplative I'm not sure I entirely understood the oft-times cryptic metaphor behind this graphic novel, but I found that it did elicit a fairly strong emotional response. So this man-boy is wandering down an empty, seemingly endless road, with only the teddy bear strapped to his back pack for conversation. He is alone, looking for purpose, confused and angry. He's attacked by strangers and caribou. Bewilderment. Suddenly he is alone in a small boat at sea. No oars, or motor. Adrift and powerless. Beyond the road he is frozen and starving. Unable to move. . . . keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Dogs and Water chronicles a piece of a lonely journey, without origin or destination. A young man wandering a nameless path has only a stuffed bear as a companion, which inertly endures his desperation, anger, and musings along the way. The landscape is cold and bleak with few landmarks, and offers only precarious encounters with animals and armed men. These interactions are rife with instinct, the drive for survival, and human ethics concerning the killed and injured. He finds acceptance with a pack of dogs, though their nature is wild and their potential threat is as unsettling as the sudden presence of a massive pipeline on the horizon. In a dreamlike state, the endless land becomes a vast body of water where his boat is destroyed and his body floats in a subconscious space. On land, the road disappears and only blind circumstance remains. All is uncertain and all can be lost, but he continues on regardless. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
