I've been very impressed with the range of graphic novels that Lion Forge has been putting out lately, and The Big Empty Life of Alphonse Tabouret is no different. Alphonse Tabouret is simply created one day in a forest, and his maker immediately tires of all of his questions and leaves him. Alphonse journeys thru the forest, searching for both answers to his questions and someone (or something) to fill his life with. There are numerous ways to interpret this story, but I feel it is an allegory that tells us that no matter what we think we need to fill our lives, if we're not happy with ourselves, we may never fill that void, and that sometimes it's OK if we never find a something to fill that void, and that it's also OK to just be by ourselves. I was under the impression that this was geared towards a younger audience, and while I think they would enjoy the story and cartoonish illustrations, it strikes me that this is actually more a story told for adults, disguised as a kid's graphic novel. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In the middle of a quiet, not-so-special clearing in the woods, a wee tinywhatsit wakes up without any memory at all. So he sets off in search of hismaker, as well as some sense of purpose in Life. Along the way, he encounters abizarre cast of silly, helpful, and oddly poignant characters who teach him howto survive this crazy game called Existence.The Big Empty Life of AlphonseTabouret is an existential fairy tale about Life, Love, Loss, and the search foranswers to questions we all ask nobody in particular. While cute and silly onthe surface, almost every encounter is metaphorical (without beingheavy-handedly so). This adorably engaging and heartwarming tale invites thereader to decipher the life lessons gleaned by Alphonse in personal terms thatspeak to today's social conditions. Through the innocent lens of simple, cutecharacterization, readers are presented with honest questions about parenting,materialism, addiction, codependency, narcissism, depression, and the search formeaning that we all undergo every day.
