Now Go - Karl Thomas Smith

Author: Karl Thomas Smith

Publisher: 404 Ink Limited

Print Length: 122 pages

Genre: Fiction / Fantasy

Topic: GriefMyth & Reality

Grief is all around us. At the heart of the brightly coloured, vividly characterised, joyful films of Studio Ghibli, they are wracked with loss – of innocence, of love, of the connection to our world and of that world itself. Now Go enters these emotional waters to interrogate not only how Studio Ghibli navigates grief so well, but how that informs our own understanding of grief’s manifold faces.
