Asterios Polyp

David Mazzuchelli's Asterios Polyp is a post-modern graphic novel, about a man grasping the importance of life. Although n his fifties, this coming of age tale really stood out to me as a beautiful piece of literature. I loved the different points of view and how Mazzuchelli used present time dialog but would use images of the past. He also wold the story threw the point of view of his dead twin brother who die at birth. The images and pictures were great. He uses a strong sense of color that made the book easy to follow and fluid.
