Lilli CarrÃ©
The creator of 2008â€™s acclaimed graphic novel ,The Lagoon, named to many annual critics lists including Publishers Weekly and USA Todayâ€™s Pop Candy is back with a stunningly designed and packaged collection of some of the most poetic and confident short fiction being produced in comics today. ,CarrÃ©â€™s elegant short stories read like the gothic, family narratives of Flannery Oâ€™Connor or Carson McCullers, but told visually. Poetic rhythms â€” a coin flip, a circling ferris wheel â€” are punctuated by elements of melancholy fantasy pushed forward by character-driven, naturalistic dialogue. ,The stories in ,Heads Or Tails, display a virtuosic breadth of visual styles and color palettes, each in perfect service of the story, and range from experimental one-pagers to short masterpieces like ,The Thing About Madeline, (featured in The Best American Comics 2008), to graphic novellas like ,The Carnival, (featured in David Sedaris and Dave Eggersâ€™ 2010 Best American Nonrequired Reading, originally published in MOME).
