Behind the static, routine moments of everyday life something bigger takes shape. A flash of encroaching death starts to consume the husband, leading to visions and questions. This graphic novel from cartoonist Tommi Musturi is a thoughtful exploration of the human condition, and the series of mostly quotidian moments that make up most of our lives. The strong presence of silence and nature reflect the arctic exotica of Musturi's native Finland, but with a relatability, eloquence, and economy that will remind American readers of Chris Ware's Jimmy Corrigan. The Book of Hope is a humane book filled with timeless humor and life itself. 546 $a Translated from the Finnish. 650 0 $a Retirement $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Retirement $z Finland $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Graphic novels $z Finland $v Translations into English. 650 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00946656 650 7 $a Retirement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01096288 651 7 $a Finland. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205503 655 7 $a Comics (Graphic works) $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026266 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026362 655 7 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423722 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423722 655 7 $a Comics (Graphic works) $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1921613 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1921613 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1726630 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1726630 655 7 $a Translations. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423791 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423791 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026339 700 1 $a Haasjoki, Pauliina, $e translator. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2012038266 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017022628.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=851ADCC6EAD411E7BA71765497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
