Far from it, actually - after one read it was clear that “Sugar Skull” could be Burns’ most divisive work to date, and after a second it was obvious that it could just be the apex of Burns’ career as an illustrator and storyteller. It’s also not that there isn’t a lot to talk about with the book. Wry and sardonic, “Sugar Skull” is an excellent and gripping read, one that moves at a brisk pace once you get into it and ends far before you’re ready to let go. It’s not that the book isn’t good, either. It isn’t in fact, I’d dare say it’s Burns’ most accessible work to date. It’s not that the book is particularly isolating or unaccessible. I’ll say this upfront: it’s pretty difficult to talk about “Sugar Skull.”
