Reading w/Dan “Nocturnos”

Cover of "Nocturnos"Thank you to Fantagraphics Books and NetGalley for the e-ARC!

A contemplative journey through a series of vignette (semi-interconnected) that explores the nighttime and our dreaming. Wonderfully illustrated with a sparse amount text, letting the pictures set the mood and tell the story(ies).

Towards the end there was some text that particularly resonated with me and my feelings about the night: “The night does not belong to us. She harbors her own mysteries. Inhabited by convergences and divergences, fears and longings, readings and prayers one night bides its time to be the last, but meanwhile, they will be fleeting, endless, nightmarish, overwhelming…”

This was a brief, quick read that lingers, and could be re-read multiple times, providing different and/or deeper meaning and perspective.
