You'll Never Know Book One " A Good and Decent Man" door C. Tyler
Reading this graphic novel brought up a lot for me, especially a determination to try and find out more about my father's experiences during the Second World War. He died at age 66, well before most of the veterans of that war I know became ready/able to talk about the war.
8/2011-Stet.
4/2010- Graphic novel/memoir in which Tyler attempts to get some information from her dad regarding what happened to him during World War II. It also spends some time on Tyler herself in the present as she deals with her husband's infidelity. I found her insights to be poignant and incisive, her eye fond but unsentimental, and her drawings workmanlike and interesting. I wish there wasn't such a cliffhanger of an ending- my cursory research doesn't lead me to believe that there's a sequel coming anytime soon, either. It's well worth a look, I think it does a wonderful job making a window into the enigma of the silent WWII vets.… (meer)

I enjoyed this as much as the first, maybe even more. I really like Tyler's illustrations, they telegraph her emotions in a way that matters more to me than the technical aspects of the craft. I like the way she weaves the current story into her dad's backstory, and the way she is able to make the exigencies of life both universal and personal. I'm looking forward to the next installment.
This is the second book of a planned trilogy. It's an illustrated memoir (can't say "graphic novel" for a non-fiction book) about her father's experiences in WWII and their effects down through years on the family. The two books are well done, and they've won all sorts of awards, but don't really grab me.
