Why read it?
1 author picked The Bun Field as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Bun Field is a dream journey of a genderless child. It has a strange and nightmarish feel to it; the protagonist is being so vulnerable and kind of hurt, but it is not without a constant dark sense of humor. Dark as the country Finland in wintertime. It has a delicious pencil-smudged style as the school of Feuchtenberger has influenced many northern artists, myself included.
From Rikke's list on The best graphic novels that sweep you into a strange surreal world of dreams.
