Blue pills : a positive love story by Frederik Peeters

Not my favorite graphic style, and the translation is clumsy, but it is such a unique and well-written story! It is unlike any other graphic novel-- or novel-- that I have read in content and in style.

My favorite chapter is the one where the protagonist rides a well-read wooly mammoth discussing some of his emotional coping mechanisms for dealing with his girlfriend and girlfriend's son being HIV . Who knew Wooly Mammoth's had such good perspective and sense of humor??

To be honest, I would rather the mystery had been emphasised a little more, shifting it more toward Picnic At Hanging Rock territory. As it is, I found it a touch mundane and ultimately a bit unsatisfying. Worth a reread though, and I like Peeters' art, so I'll push it up to a 4.… (more)
