Daytripper: Deluxe Edition by Fábio Moon
5.0
The quiet moments, the still moments - how many of these moments make up our lives?
Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá show us what life can consist of with simple, yet powerful, examples of a single life and how it could be lived. The character we follow is an obituary writer for a newspaper as an adult, and Daytripper makes phenomenal use of the form and function of obituaries and hones in on the ties death has to life.
The edition I read had an address in the back that concludes,
"...we did live it.
And sometimes we die to prove that we lived."
I can't say it any better than that. Daytripper was a gorgeous read that I am glad I took slow. It deserves pondering and the time to let the emotions hit and then seep.
