Thoreau at Walden #[nn]

Presented by the Center for Cartoon Studies, Thoreau at Walden adapts the writings of Henry David Thoreau through John Porcellino's distinctively spare, meditative linework — both inside and on the cover, where a lone, long-haired figure stands surveying a quiet landscape of rolling green hills as autumn leaves drift through the cool air around him. Porcellino's deceptively simple style feels perfectly matched to Thoreau's philosophy of deliberate living and close attention to the natural world. With an introduction by D.B. Johnson, this 2018 volume is a genuinely thoughtful invitation to slow down and see.
