Reviews

"The sketchbook-cum-travelogue is quite a dreamy object... the book encourages the mind to wander. This is travel in its exploded view."--New York Times

"A comic for anyone who has ever travelled alone... Clever, funny and disarmingly honest, it is, of course, predictably lovely to look at."--The Guardian

"While there are all too many gatekeepers seeking to erect arbitrary walls between comics and "real literature" (whatever that means), Craig Thompson is undoubtedly one of the few cartoonists even the stuffiest academics would consider unimpeachable."--Paste

"Thompson is a gifted cartoonist, with an ability to tell long, complex stories while never sacrificing intricate details or the fluidity of his drawings."--Popmatters

"Carnet de Voyage witnesses a personal journey and a physical one, but manages to avoid cliché. Instead, Thompson's sincerity shines through and he sweetly goes on loving the world even when frozen with anxiety and sadness. In these moments, Thompson and his work are the most human and poignant."--ComicsVerse

"Captures to perfection and with a great sense of immediacy what it's like to be young, and on one's own on a foreign adventure. By turns lighthearted and profound, Carnet is an illuminating and charming experience."--School Library Journal
