Mother, Come Home is Hornschemeier's graphic novel debut-the quietly stunning tale of a father and son struggling, by varying degrees of escapism and fantasy, to come to terms with the death of the family's mother. The story seamlessly weaves through the surreal and the painfully factual, guided by the careful, somber colors and inventive pacing unique to Hornschmeier's storytelling. Mother, Come Home extracts almost tangible drama from the most tranquil of moments, making that which is unspoken in each panel easily audible, and almost uncomfortably experienced. 110708 4 2 2003 Mother, Come Home total:225|5:103|4:82|3:31|2:5|1:4| 225 950 300 56 5 6 false false Mon Jun 29 17:25:28 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 06:48:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 19 false false Mon Nov 16 05:27:34 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 06:28:10 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Jun 25 23:48:18 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 25 23:48:25 -0700 2009
