Leaving behind a last note for a young child is an incomprehensible task; Castrée responds with grace and subtlety. Using precise, exquisite drawings of herself and her daughter, Castrée depicts changes in their daily routines as a greater story unfolds. Mother and daughter float from page to page, encased in a bubble that protects them from the outside world. A contemplation of love and loss, \u003ci\u003eA Bubble\u003c\/i\u003e is a lasting declaration, a final memory, a comfort for others experiencing grief, and a beautiful archive of one of the world’s most talented cartoonist’s final artistic achievements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnown for her hauntingly beautiful music (under the names Ô PAON and Woelv), engrossingly detailed album illustrations, and delicate, subtle comics, Castrée’s previous graphic novel, \u003ci\u003eSusceptible\u003c\/i\u003e, shows her rare ability to handle difficult personal material with intimacy and honesty. \u003ci\u003eA Bubble\u003c\/i\u003e acts as an extension of her life story and the final chapter of a beautifully full existence. Castrée passed away in 2016 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032292704496,"sku":"9781770463219","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781770463219_p0.jpg?v=1763706482","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781770463219","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
