carré's illustrations are charming and her writing is engaging, funny, and positively strange. 'the thing about madeline' is jacksonian (shirley) and hit all the right notes, and even though i borrowed the book from library i feel like i need to buy it now.

Gorgeous art--I'd love any panel from this on my wall--but I thought the storytelling was weak.

A collection of Carré’s comics that shows her stylistic range as well as her love of the uncanny and of mid-century illustration. Her endings and punchlines don’t always hit as hard as I’d like, but a couple of the comics in this collection are absolutely fantastic (“The Carnival” and “Rainbow Moment”).

Lilli Carré's short stories are beautiful, wistful, and odd. The art is stylized and subtle and the text reads like poetry. The standout for me is the story "Rainbow Moment," which nests stories within stories like a Matryoshka doll, using color to set a different mood and feeling for each one. Very dreamlike.
