another reviewer on here said: it doesn't tell a story, it captures an experience
to that I'd add: there IS a story. a mundane, near-universal story. AND it captures the experience of that as well.
it was as if Alice Munro could create a graphic novel. the details are quiet and important and contain a multitude of meaning. a teen boy testing his independence. a mother trying to recreate a beloved memory. technology at times overlaying, and at other times interfering with, tangible life.
