This very powerful autobiography in comic form relates the childhood of the author and the sexual abuse she suffered from her father. The struggles of the child to reconcile her deeply wounded self with the "normality" of her sisters and school friends are very aptly related. This book is the stunning result of a very courageous introspective process, and serves as a disturbing remainder of the untold atrocities suffered by children who shared the author's fate. This being said, I am not a great fan of Debbie Drechsler graphic art and was therefore unable to immerse myself in the story as much as I had wanted. I also regretted the abrupt end of the book, the lack of a more adult take on the situation and a possible confrontation with the perpetrator.

by Debbie Drechsler Originally published in 1995 and distributed only to comic book specialty stores, Daddy's Girl was ahead of its time - Drechsler's account of her abuse at the hands of her father, told from the point of view of an adolescent, is one of the most searingly honest, empathic, and profoundly disturbing uses of the comics medium in history. Drechsler's meticulous brush lines gather into heavy textures that suggest the claustrophobic tension of the environment that threatens her pre-teen and adolescent female protagonists. Characters such as Lily, who can't escape her father's abuse, and Franny, a girl whose desire to be accepted leads her into dangerous territory, struggle not to be visually and emotionally overwhelmed. Central to this quasi-memoir is Lily's relationship to her father - a confused jumble of fear, trepidation, and love. No library descriptions found. |
