There' s a real village in Germany called Neuerkerode that is operated by people with mental disabilities - the local restaurant, the local bar, the local supermarket. The author spent two years living 3 or 4 days a week there, researching and getting to know its townsfolk, and the result is an empathetic depiction. This graphic novel is told entirely from a developmentally impaired boy' s perspective. Noel had always lived with his mother in Berlin, until one day tragedy strikes and he finds himself alone for the first time. A man with a beard tells him he can' t stay in the apartment anymore and takes him to a place with so many strangers ? Who can he trust? Who does he like? Who loves him?
The Thud is insinuating, artfully complex, and lovingly rendered--an eminently re-readable story of a person and a place. -- "Solrad"
Mikael Ross is a Berlin-based cartoonist and tailor. Ross was the recipient of the very first graphic novel scholarship from Berlin' s Senate Department for Culture and Europe.
