Sock Monkey: Uncle Gabby

“I love this book because it’s a meditation on memory, on our relationship with our past. Uncle Gabby is plagued by memories of things that couldn’t possibly have happened. He remembers events that are incompatible with the life that he’s living. He decides that he has to resolve that anomaly: he has to find out which of his pasts is true, the one he remembers or the one that ought logically to be true. It’s mostly black and white line art, switching to colour at the end, for a triumphant, breathtaking ending. It’s got a lot of emotional heft to it.” Read more...
