Description “Life was a small negative space cut out of the eternal solidity, and for the first time, it felt precious - not like all of the words that had come to mean nothing, but like the last breath of a drowning victim.”

― Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated


...I am obsessed ;v;... It's just... such a moving book. So many vivid images come to mind, it's like, too much emotion to just read it! You have to do something else! While listening to the soundtrack, I drew this super quick.

"Everything is illuminated from the light of the past."

From the top is Eli and Hershal when they were younger, from the days when they could call each other friends and live side by side.

Then Augustine, from the days when you couldn't see the skies anymore, walking among the corpses, making graves for them.

Then Jonathan, living in memory of his Grandfather and Zosha, and their unborn child, and Augustine, and Lista, and everyone in Trachimbrod, and even Brod and the Kholker, but also Alex and his Grandfather, and Eli and Hershal, and so many more...

You have an amazing talent. Your art has some how compeltely changed around my bipolor mood with just four peices of art. this one is just amazing simply cause the people show totally diffrent emotions. The top one makes you happy while the other one just... so sad. One thing i love about holocost books is that its like a slap in the face. After reading one it makes you think hard about what your complaing about. and stuff. I love the way you drew the flowers. and the hair on the dude at the top on the left (I think its the left) His hair is drawn really nice. and that scarf thing on the girl is really pretty. i wanna get my girlfriend one of thoes. what is that scarf thing called?

...wow, that seems interesting. and the book makes a clear transition from two seemingly different feelings? it gives the reader much to reflect on afterwards i'm guessing

yeah!! god, the author was just, crazy!! and you know, the begnning i totaly hated it... just all the jokes (which were sometimes racist) and they tell basically three stories in one, so it was confusing cause i didnt' know they were separate stories or what was going on. but as i stuck with it and the stories started to connect, and everything came out into the opening... when you realize all the truths, and the way the author transcends each of them, its breath-taking!!!
