  <default_description>A collection of funny, poignant, and autobiographical short stories, &lt;I&gt;Little Things&lt;/i&gt; looks at the aspects of daily life -- friendship, illness, death, work, crushes, love, jealousy, and fatherhood -- we take for granted. As each story loops into others, Jeffrey Brown shows how the smallest andseemingly most insignificant parts of everyday life can end up becoming the most meaningful. Brown's first full-length autobiographical book in several years, &lt;I&gt;Little Things&lt;/i&gt; is also his most impressive, touching, and true.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Jeffrey Brown's art is like a wool sweater.  It's extremely comfy, but can also be a bit scratchy and irritating at times.  This is probably my least favorite work of his (though I still like it.  Honest.)  My main problem is the book's format.

    <body><![CDATA[More growth from Brown as he moves away from a simple &quot;This happened and then this happened&quot; style of storytelling that plagues the genre of memoir comics. Too often the creators who work in this genre will simply relate a chain of events as if that's storytelling, and the human side of wh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20010799">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm really interested in the trajectory (for lack of a less pretentious word) of Jeffrey Brown's career. I think it's pretty admirable that Brown isn't looking to play the same note over and over again with his autobio comic strips and I was excited for a non-relationship dip into the author's life....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29525183">more...</a>]]></body>
