Kevin Sacco, author
Kevin Sacco has recreated 1960's Upper West Side, Manhattan in his wordless graphic novel. Set against the backdrop of a complicated family life, Sacco's 7 year old protagonist encounters a cast of neighborhood characters including bullies, pimps, Holocaust survivors and unexpected child friends-all in the company of his companion-protector, Josephine, the family's maid... Until the lingering shadows in the boy's live turn very dark indeed.
