Gast

Helen is an amateur bird watcher and naturalist who lives in a rural community in Wales. When a local farmer Bill tells Helen that a Ã¢â‚¬Å“rare birdÃ¢â‚¬Â named Emrys killed himself at Cuddig farm, she decides to investigate. One of the dogs at the farm tells her, by way of explanation, that Emrys Ã¢â‚¬Å“had no feathers and couldnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t fly.Ã¢â‚¬Â She plucks an old cosmetic kit from a dumpster and discovers it belonged to Emrys. Inventorying the kitÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s contents, she finds a spent .12 gauge shotgun shell. Her attempt to learn more about Emrys turns into a journey of self-discovery and ultimately a hard-fought reconciliation with the world Ã¢â‚¬â€ as it is. Carol SwainÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Gast is the rare kind of contemporary graphic novel critics are conjuring when they exult over the promise of the art formÃ¢â‚¬â€ a philosophically mature vision, uniquely executed by an artist wholly in control of her craft. In Gast, HelenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s inner life is slowly revealed through a mixture of naturalistic detail and phantasmagoric occurrences.
