It's a cloudy Tuesday in October and the residents of Dockwood are going about their business as usual. In Elmsview Nursing Home, a kitchen porter dutifully prepares lunch for residents. Along Nettlefield Road, a paperboy is delivering his evening round. And in the trees, swallows gather noisily in preparation for their annual migration. In this bittersweet and contemplative work, Jon McNaught weaves together the everyday lives of locals against the backdrop of autumnal transitions.

REVUE Jon McNaught's work has a quiet, contemplative quality edged with melancholy & a bittersweet ache -- and all of that is present in this short but poetic graphic novel. Nearly wordless, it conveys its multiple stories through what first seems like simple art, but which is actually precision & emotional depth pared down to a few carefully placed lines & patches of flat color. The stories follow a day in the life of a young man working in a nursing home, and a young boy delivering newspapers before losing himself in videogames. The natural world is presented in counterpoint to these quotidian activities: birds & squirrels going about their own lives, observing the human world (which we see from their POV).
But that basic synopsis hardly begins to capture the intertwining emotions & unnoticed revelations of this book. A seemingly minor image early on will be repeated in different context later in the book, investing it with greater meaning -- a meaning we realize was there all along, if only we had the eyes & sensitivity to see it. The references to autumn become ever more metaphoric as the stories progress. The starlings are preparing for their annual migration, as several denizens of the nursing home see on a BBC nature program; at the same time, it's clear that those denizens will be making their own final migration very soon. The delivery boy loses himself in violent sci-fi videogames as a means of both escape & exploring a wider universe, while oblivious to the actual universe around him, filled with countless forms of life & an infinite sky of stars. A single panel showing him seated before the glowing screen of his game, in a bedroom filled with pop culture detritus, is one of the saddest things I've seen in a long time.
And yet the opening & closing images of the book aren't of human beings, but of birds & tree branches. There's a distinct lyrical tone to the book, which proceeds at a slow, measured pace, inviting us to pause & savor the tiniest of everyday details. More than that, it invites us to notice those details in our own lives as well. Not for every taste, especially for those who want nothing more than blatant action & overwrought, one-dimensional "entertainment" -- but for the thoughtful reader, most highly recommended!
