Times Top 25 Non-Fiction Book of 2009 An NPR Best Book of the Year, Best Memoir With this stunning graphic memoir, David Small takes readers on an unforgettable journey into the dark heart of his tumultuous childhood in 1950s Detroit, in a coming-of-age tale like no other. At the age of fourteen, David awoke from a supposedly harmless operation to discover his throat had been slashed and one of his vocal chords removed, leaving him a virtual mute. No one had told him that he had cancer and was expected to die. The resulting silence was in keeping with the atmosphere of secrecy and repressed frustration that pervaded the Small household and revealed itself in the slamming of cupboard doors, the thumping of a punching bag, the beating of a drum. Believing that they were doing their best, David’s parents did just the reverse. David’s mother held the family emotionally hostage with her furious withdrawals, even as she kept her emotions hidden — including from herself. His father, rarely present, was a radiologist, and although David grew up looking at X-rays and drawing on X-ray paper, it would be years before he discovered the shocking consequences of his father’s faith in science. A work of great bravery and humanity, Stitches is a gripping and ultimately redemptive story of a man’s struggle to understand the past and reclaim his voice.

Download or read book Home After Dark A Novel written by David Small and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Among the most masterful storytellers alive today” (Gene Luen Yang), “few creators mine the pathos of a dark midcentury childhood like Small” (Washington Post). Since the publication of Stitches a decade ago, David Small has emerged as one of the seminal authors in the genre of graphic literature. Here, in Home After Dark, a Boston Globe Best Book of 2018, Small provides a “painfully honest” and “haunting work of unfolding surprise” (Jules Feiffer) that renders the brutality of adolescence in the 1950s. Through “gorgeous and expressive drawings” (Roz Chast), Small “recaptures the inchoate chaos of youth” (Jack Gantos), telling the story of thirteen- year- old Russell Pruitt, who, abandoned by his mother, follows his father to the sun- splashed land of California in search of a dream. Suddenly forced to fend for himself, Russell struggles to survive in Marshfield, a dilapidated town haunted by a sadistic animal killer and a ring of malicious boys. Eerily foreboding yet filled with uncanny psychological insights and stray glimmers of hope, Home After Dark confirms Small’s place as a modern master of graphic fiction.

Book excerpt: As her stop came up, Kate got up and bumped into Evan, knocking the papers out of his hand. 'I'm so sorry. Let me help you pick them up,' she said, embarrassed. 'I can get them. Besides, I know you're in a hurry to get to work. I could tell by how much you kept looking at your watch.' Evan picked up his papers, and they exited the train together. 'Maybe we will see each other again sometime.' They headed their separate ways. Kate glanced back one last time to take in what Evan looked like. She wanted to remember his face. It was tan with a few wrinkles around his eyes. His blue eyes gave the impression they could see into her soul. There was something about this man that touched her spirit. It was like she had met him before. Some people are just meant to have their dreams come true because they are destined to help others through those dreams. What started out to be a normal day for Dr. Kate Herrman—a pediatric surgeon—and Evan Randall would soon be changed in an instant. A train ride, dropped papers, and one glance will set into motion a chain of events that could not have been foreseen. Were Kate and Evan destined to meet, or was someone intervening? Find out the answer and more in Debra Becht's riveting novel, Tiny Stitches.
