Doug Wright Award Nomination: best small-press book
"Old Caves is an unusual graphic novel for prioritizing the beauty
of landscapes over plot, leading to a contemplative experience. It
follows a middle-aged man living in an extremely remote location
during winter […] Landry supplies silhouettes in white, and a few
black marks, almost abstract to create the impression of animal
tracks in the snow. There’s a memorable wordless image viewed from
above of the man walking through the woods […] If you’re of
the inclination, time and again you’ll pause during reading as
another eye-catching depiction of nature catches the eye." —Slings
and Arrows
"Landry’s black-and-white art makes lyrical use of negative space,
rendering the mountains with magisterial effect. Unlike many tales
of self-separating loners, this maintains a profound emotional
through line, mostly through the letters: “I could punch and kick
and kiss you all at once,” the protagonist’s wife writes. Landry
depicts the costs of separation from society with piercing visual
poetry."—Publishers Weekly
