IL CANE MANGIAVA SOLO FARFALLE by Nora & Lorenzo Marvica
The dog only ate butterflies is a comic written by Lorenzo Marvica and illustrated by Nora, published by pièdimosca edizioni as part of its CATRAME series, dedicated to comics and illustrated books. Alex, the protagonist, is a shy and introverted child. Following the death of his father, he begins to write down his memories in a diary, in an attempt to exorcise and deal with the pain he feels. Alex's account is highly ungrammatical, at times incomprehensible, the periods1 and places overlap so much that they become deformed, completely altering the timeline and the characters he narrates about. However, the clear thread within Alex's story is the experience of mourning: his approach to the illness, to the disappearance of living beings (his goldfish, the neighbor's dog that gives the volume its title, his father ), to the pain and confusion of loss. It is the request, by a child who approaches death for the first time, to understand why such things happen. Lorenzo Marvica managed to script a short, but intense and impactful fairy tale, without a linear narration of events: and Nora, with her pastel line, which seems sketchy and dirty but at the same time extremely precise and refined, manages to convey it fully , affecting the reader in a profound way, moving his emotions, making him fully perceive the emotions of the young protagonist. The edition is very pleasant, resistant and easy to handle. The binding and paper weight allow you to fully enjoy the illustrations and fully immerse yourself in the story without ever risking ruining or damaging the volume.
