Bannock, Beans & Black Tea
Seth
A stark, brutally honest memoir illustrated by one of the world’s great cartoonists.
This is a gripping and poignant memoir recounting one boy’s experiences of deprivation and poverty growing up in a rural farming village during the Great Depression. The short stories are written by John Gallant and illustrated by his son Seth, better known to many as the New Yorker illustrator and award-winning D+Q cartoonist behind the books It’s a Good Life, If You Don’t Weaken and the sumptuous Vernacular Drawings.
Written with a concise honesty and clarity, the stories reveal the sad reality of a boy growing up in brutal social and economic conditions.
