From Lone Mountain

A view of America—as seen in small towns, rural roads, and its overlooked in-between places. Slow down and visits the forests, fields, streams, and overgrown abandoned lots that surround every city. Love of home and of nature anchor this graphic novel in an increasingly turbulent world and studies the flora and fauna around us. John Porcellino looks at the overlooked with a quintessential American endeavour—the road trip. Weaving from small town to small town, experiencing America in slow motion, avoiding the sameness of airports and the overwhelming hustle of major cities. Grand themes of King-Cat are visited and stated more eloquently than ever before: serendipity, memory, and the quest for meaning in the everyday. His gentle observational stories take the pulse of everyday life and reveal beauty in the struggle to keep going.
