Summary

When confronted with his girlfriend’s request that they have a child together, Samuel fled that relationship. But a year later, when he receives a letter from Alice announcing that she is expecting a baby, old emotions flare up and he embarks on a long journey to see her again ― to re-open, or perhaps close forever, that important chapter of his life. The Crackle of the Frost graphic novel is the story of what he sees, hears, experiences, and learns during that journey.

Lorenzo Mattotti is a highly sought-after illustrator (with frequent appearances in and on The New Yorker) and acclaimed graphic novelist. He lives in Paris, France; his work includes The Raven, a collaboration with Lou Reed re-imagining the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
