review:
'Park Bench' by Christophe Chabouté explores the world around a common object: the park bench. Through a completely wordless graphic novel, we meet many different characters.

The book starts with a young boy carving his ardor for a girl in the bench. Then we see the bench, day to day, season to season, year to year. The commuter who passes it every day. The dog that relieves itself on the same leg. The homeless man who sleeps on it at night. And we witness the transformation and journey of these characters in relation to this bench. From an old couple who share a pastry to the city worker who paints over the graffiti.

This was an amazing graphic novel. Things play out panel after panel, and there are a variety of characters, and they all have their plot. The art was amazing and I loved how the artist played with the angle of the bench to keep things from being too static. I found a few of the stories very moving. This is a great graphic novel.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Gallery 13, Pocket Books, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
