Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. I have a summer ARC of this book that is coming out in November so my copy may be unfinished - the book is a series of graphic vinettes from a Berkeley CA childhood (ages 6,10,13,17) to attending & getting into a fight at the gay prom (age 19) trying to find the perfect glasses (age 24) & others. Some of the stories resonated with me & drew me in - others less so. I first read Schrag's high school comic book about twenty years ago, and I remember thinking at the time that they were raw and awkward but showed potential. Not having seen much from her in the interim, I was interested in seeing what she would be doing now that she has matured. I was disappointed to see that the random stories and vignettes presented here did not seem that much different in art or writing. They're OK, I guess, and the after-school program strips at least manage to break Schrag out of the self-involvement that dominates the rest of the book. Just wasn't what I was expecting. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Ariel Schrag, a critically-acclaimed memoirist and screenwriter, takes us on a painfully funny tour of her formative years, from her childhood in Berkeley to her mid-twenties in Brooklyn, exploring what it means to connect to others when you don't yet know who you are--when you want to be "part of it" but the "it" changes daily. We meet hippie babysitters, mean girls, best friends, former friends, prom dates, girlfriends, sex ed students, and far too many LensCrafters sales associates. These frank, irreverent, and honest comics revel in the uncomfortable--occasionally cringe-inducing--moments from our early years that end up wiring us as people. Part of It further cements Ariel Schrag as "one of the best pure storytellers...in any medium" (Comics Journal). No library descriptions found. |
