A moving graphic memoir about home, childhood, and family by the author of Storeyville and Pompeii.Pittsburgh is the story of a family, and a city. Frank Santoro faces a straightforward yet heartrending reality: His parents, once highschool sweethearts, now never speak to each otherdespite working in the same building. Stuck in the middle, he tries to understand. The result is this book.Using markers, pencils, scissors, and tape, with a variety of papers, drawing in vivid colors and exuberant lines, Santoro constructs a multigenerational retelling of their lives. Framed by his parents courtship and marriage, and set amid the vital but fading neighborhood streets, the pages of Pittsburgh are filled with details both quotidian and dramaticfrom his childhood mishaps to his fathers trauma in Vietnaminterspersed throughout with the mute witness of the family dog, Pretzel.Santoro, the acclaimed author of Storeyville and Pompeii, has created his masterpiece. Pittsburgh is an extraordinary reimagining of the comics form to depict the processes of memory, and a powerful, searching account of a family taking shape, falling apart, and struggling to reinvent itself, as the city around them does the same.
