Bookworm » Rob Ryan: This is for You
Available at Chronicle Books
“If you believe in love, but find it difficult to explain – this is for you.” – Rob Ryan
A special thank you to Ankur for making it to our wedding party aand for bringing Yuval and I this scrumptious little book! A delicate narrative by Londoner Rob Ryan, This is for You follows the artist-as-a-young-boy in his attempts to fill a void he has discovered in his heart. Each papercut is cluttered with fragile, jumbled promises, desperate mantras, and larger-than-life questions that only children seem to ask out loud. The panicky feeling, desperation, resignation, resolution – they all ring so clearly. Remember when you were younger and felt just, alone? And thought you would never find a way to fix it? Not to worry: the book ends with a bittersweet proclamation:
“All of these thoughts were of you. All of there dreams were of you. And my darling, that lonely boy still lives inside me. I have not changed. Those promises I made to you I will fulfill.”
