false 25179 8 From the author of the critically-acclaimed and best-selling graphic novel, Good-Bye, Chunky Rice, comes Craig Thompson's all-new masterpiece. Blankets — the most anticipated graphic novel of the year — is already being regarded as THE defining moment of this comix generation. Wrapped in the landscape of a blustery Wisconsin winter, Blankets explores the sibling rivalry of two brothers growing up in the isolated country, and the budding romance of two coming-of-age lovers. A tale of security and discovery, of playfulness and tragedy, of a fall from grace and the origins of faith. A profound and utterly beautiful work. 781193 book 6 8 2003 Blankets total:5952|5:2438|4:2150|3:1039|2:267|1:58| 5952 24499 7656 926 25179 1891830430 9781891830433 5935 926 4.12 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167595421m/25179.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25179.Blankets 2 14 false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 24 17:21:17 -0700 2007 Tue Mar 11 12:19:35 -0700 2008 more...]]> 25179 1891830430 9781891830433 5935 926 4.12 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167595421m/25179.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25179.Blankets 1 10 false Sun Aug 31 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 23 15:51:02 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 09:16:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 25179 1891830430 9781891830433 5935 926 4.12 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167595421m/25179.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25179.Blankets 3 9 false Sun Jan 18 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 08:55:30 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 09:15:19 -0800 2009 more...]]> 25179 1891830430 9781891830433 5935 926 4.12 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167595421m/25179.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25179.Blankets 3 7 false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Aug 01 14:49:56 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 14:50:42 -0700 2007
