In Don Nace's Drawn Out, evocative, plaintive drawings -- imagined by a mad meeting of Beardsley, Schiele, and Feiffer -- redefine graphic in a graphic novel. Their lines, as in any drawing, make sense and nonsense of its protagonist's happy and sad experiences. Nace's unfussy short sentences shape the story, subtitles to a silent movie whose expressive faces and bodies relay feelings and flesh out meanings. The ambiguities and contradictions of our lives are beautifully rendered in DRAWN OUT by Nace's spidery, frenetic images, his acute understanding of images and words, our everyday languages.—Lynne Tillman
Drawn Out possesses a harrowing beauty that is difficult to express in words. The drawings are both raw and elegant, evoking, without imitating, Francis Bacon, R.J. Kitaj, and Chaim Soutine. The narrative is mordant and harsh, yet oddly romantic. In a world glutted with cheap sentiment and prefab emotion. Don Nace has produced a work that is genuinely haunting.—Joe Queenan
Set in peculiarly American landscapes, from the empty vastness of the Southwest to the teeming crowds of New York, Drawn Out distills thousands of Nace's sketches into a spare and essential view of God, alcoholics, women, work, and the crushing details of daily life. Along the way, it is by turns brilliantly funny, deeply soulful, and quietly tragic.
