36days Paul Flippen

A memoir in images and text, 36days uses thirty-six drawings and thirty-six text panels to narrate one family's experience of the end of life and one son's relationship with his dying father. This impactful book examines the emotions and ethics of dealing with illness and death, revealing the difficulties a family must face while seeking to do what is best for a loved one who is soon to pass from this life. Shifting from crisp scientific renderings to the atmospherics of memory, the words and images in 36days navigate one account of modern medicine meeting family history.
