Book excerpt: The Legend of Hedgehog Boy, a 168 page comic book by writer & artist Rene Capone, conjures up all of the classic children's tales of young and lost souls fleeing into their imaginations in order to escape the cold, harsh nature of reality. And like Peter, Alice, and Dorothy before him, we're presented with a brash and courageous hero who doesn't submit to torment and strives to find freedom and happiness despite the predominant darkness of his past.This hero is Hedgehog Boy, a young man who escaped from an abusive home. The tormented child spent his nights huddled in a cold cellar and saw salvation only in the ultimate end of suicide. But before all was truly lost, he pulled himself back from the brink and fled to the woods. And, as the rules of fantasy and magical realism dictate, the woods the boy finds refuge in quietly shift into a land of the imagination. There the boy skins a hedgehog and dons the spiky mantle as a crown of independence. He also meets Frank the Bear, a wounded teddy who bleeds stuffing; because he has no fingers, Frank cannot even mend his own injury. Hedgehog Boy offers his help, and a friendship is born.The unfortunate truth is that suffering and innocence senselessly abounds in the world. Children are too often the victims-children who seek refuge just as Hedgehog Boy did. Enter Kitty: another young man with a dark past who wanders into the woods and finds his way to Hedgehog Boy and Frank. No, Kitty is not the boy's given name; rather, it's the name of his rebirth. Hedgehog Boy skins a cat and offers it to his new friend as a fresh identity. Kitty accepts freely and of hesitation.

Download or read book The Elegance of the Hedgehog written by Muriel Barbery and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2008-09-02 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenal New York Times bestseller that “explores the upstairs-downstairs goings-on of a posh Parisian apartment building” (Publishers Weekly). In an elegant hôtel particulier in Paris, Renée, the concierge, is all but invisible—short, plump, middle-aged, with bunions on her feet and an addiction to television soaps. Her only genuine attachment is to her cat, Leo. In short, she’s everything society expects from a concierge at a bourgeois building in an upscale neighborhood. But Renée has a secret: She furtively, ferociously devours art, philosophy, music, and Japanese culture. With biting humor, she scrutinizes the lives of the tenants—her inferiors in every way except that of material wealth. Paloma is a twelve-year-old who lives on the fifth floor. Talented and precocious, she’s come to terms with life’s seeming futility and decided to end her own on her thirteenth birthday. Until then, she will continue hiding her extraordinary intelligence behind a mask of mediocrity, acting the part of an average pre-teen high on pop culture, a good but not outstanding student, an obedient if obstinate daughter. Paloma and Renée hide their true talents and finest qualities from a world they believe cannot or will not appreciate them. But after a wealthy Japanese man named Ozu arrives in the building, they will begin to recognize each other as kindred souls, in a novel that exalts the quiet victories of the inconspicuous among us, and “teaches philosophical lessons by shrewdly exposing rich secret lives hidden beneath conventional exteriors” (Kirkus Reviews). “The narrators’ kinetic minds and engaging voices (in Alison Anderson’s fluent translation) propel us ahead.” —The New York Times Book Review “Barbery’s sly wit . . . bestows lightness on the most ponderous cogitations.” —The New Yorker

Download or read book Any Given Moment written by Rene Capone and published by Capone Fine Art. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prolific figure painter and independent LGBT artist. This 158 page full color collection is an overview of artists from 1999-2011. Capone created a body of narrative paintings that succinctly juxtaposes both eroticism and a lurking secrecy commonplace on the covers of childhood Nancy Drew Mystery books. Revealing a fragmented moment of action, his paintings work like incomplete mysteries that inspire us to finish the detailing. Rene Capone's art conveys a sense of wonder, exploration and discovery. Set against a fantastical world of mythical dreamscapes the figures in his work appear to be on a deeply personal quest for identity and their place in the world.
