Items related to Nicolas (A Petit Livre)
Nicolas is a moving debut work by Quebecois cartoonist Pascal Girard. The book is presented as a series of short autobiographical vignettes that take place after the childhood death of his younger brother, Nicolas, who passed away in 1990. Each episode taken from Girard's childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood offers a glimpse into his multifaceted and ongoing process of reckoning, as he struggles to reconcile the magnitude of this tragedy with the minutiae of his daily experience of loss. Nicolas unfolds as a delicate portrait of the many faces of mourning, identified with surprising humor and pathos by an artist who knows them intimately.

About the Author:
Pascal Girard was born in Jonquière, Quebec, Canada, in 1981. He began filling his notebook with drawings on his very first day of school and never stopped. Since he was unable to rid himself of this habit, he naturally decided to make it his career. Girard is the award-winning author of Nicolas, Bigfoot, Reunion, and Petty Theft. He lives in Montreal.
Review:
"The small, slim volume is quite minimalist in terms of what's on the page, but at the same time is emotionally rich and complex."― The Quietus
"This graphic stream of consciousness about life―before and after―is a powerful testament to brotherly love and healing."― The Miami Herald
"I can think of few graphic novels that pack more emotional punch per page than Pascal Girard's Nicolas."― London Free Press
"This exquisite, wee graphic novel’s extreme sparseness, verbally as well as visually, make it a possible godsend for many long-term mourners." -Booklist
"In a small volume that is both gorgeous and raw, Pascal Girard generously shares his own story of loss and coping in an extremely affecting manner. I love it very much."―Leslie Stein, author of Eye of the Majestic Creature
"A touching memoir that's as heartfelt as anything I've read." -Jeffrey Brown, cartoonist of Clumsy, Unlikely, and Big Head
