Helpful Score: 3
STITCHES is David Small's memoir of his horrific childhood with parents who believed that silence was the best way of raising a child. When David was younger, his father treated his sinus infections with heavy doses of radiation. As a result, he developed cancer, and without telling him the reasons for their actions, doctors removed half his vocal chords and rendered him silent at the age of fourteen. STITCHES is drawn in a sparse, black-and-white style that's reminiscent of noir and horror films, as we the readers perceive David's world through his child's eyes. The result is a stomach-twisting but compelling graphic novel memoir.
