Grace Pudel is a lonely misfit with an affinity for collecting ornamental snails and an intense love for books. At a young age, when Grace is separated from her fire-breathing twin brother Gilbert, she falls into a spiral of anxiety and angst. Despite a continued series of hardships, inspiration and hope emerge when she strikes up an enduring friendship with an elderly eccentric woman named Pinky, who is full of grit and lust for life. From Academy Award®-winning animation writer and director Adam Elliot, Memoir of a Snail is a poignant, heartfelt and hilarious chronicle of the life of an outsider finding her confidence and silver linings amongst the clutter of everyday life.
"Charming, poignant... ambitious... charming and beguiling... thoroughly enjoyable"
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
"Triumph of the human thumb-print... Gorgeously human... life-affirming... Memoir of a Snail is delightful. It's quirky, funny and emotionally satisfying... a Melbourne fairytale... Seeing our humble grey city lovingly rendered in lumpy clay and lit up as a central character is nothing less than a revelation, with so many moments that will be heartwarming for any Melburnian: 'Oh, there's the grinning face at Luna Park, and the brown Collingwood Towers, and oh, the Eiffel Tower in Paris is suddenly morphing back into our own little Arts Centre Spire.' It's magic."
