Thoreau at Walden | John Porcellino, Center for Cartoon Studies

I‘ve read Thoreau‘s work, but I loved this graphic novel, which gives some highlights from his time at Walden pond. It‘s simple and straightforward and uses language and situations presented in Thoreau‘s actual book. It‘s a great way to sample Thoreau if you are interested, but don‘t want to tackle the original book.

This engaging, informative, thoughtful collection finds contemporary writers reading and discussing Thoreau (and not just Walden). As with any anthology, there is a mix of styles and subjects here and there are a couple of clunkers, in my opinion, but overall the writers are engaged with their subject. Many provide interesting historical details. I particularly enjoyed the writers of color who find something in Thoreau's themes. Recommended.

“The gift of close reading translates into the gift of perspective. Thoreau can look at Walden and see not only the subtle changes in the place as the seasons progress, he can see the layers of humanity upon the land, the past, present, and future existing all at once…Read so closely that the landscape you‘re in or the book you‘re reading becomes you. It is through such constant, intense close reading that you can touch the edges of your soul.

So....None of these have a #picnic but when I read the prompt this is immediately what I thought of. I love this children's series based on Henry Thoreau and Walden's Pond. The illustrations are wonderful.
