Maus I and II by Art Speigelman
I've thought about these a lot since finishing them.
Lucky by Gabrielle Bell
A funny comic diary and reflections on the author's life as a young artist in NYC. I loved this! She takes odd jobs, lives in tiny apartments with other artists, and hangs out with her boyfriend. She knows how to construct a funny and very short tale about her real life and the characters she meets. I wish she hadn't used the r-word a couple of times in this book.
Currently reading
Castle Waiting by Linda Medley. A reread for me of this gorgeous graphic novel. It's a very comforting book. I hadn't noticed the racist portrayal of the gypsy woman before. :(
Monkey Food: the Complete "I was 7 in '75" Collection by Ellen Forney.
Very funny tales from Ellen's childhood. Her parents are Unitarian pot-smoking professionals. I'm not very far yet.
What will you read next
More comics! For my lightning talk at WisCon!
Not Love but Delicious Foods Make Me So Happy! by Fumi Yoshinaga
And some other comics, specifically by women, especially by women who are women of color and/or Muslim. (Thank Twitter Friends for helping me!) Not all of these will be included. I obviously have to read and select from this list.
On my hold list at the library:
Air by G. Willow Wilson
Cairo by G. Willow Wilson
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi (have read before)
The Sigh by Marjane Satrapi
The Magical Life of Long Tam Sack by Anne Marie Fleming
Nylon Road by Parsua Bashi
Ooku by Fumi Yoshinaga (have read before)
Forget Sorrow by Belle Yang
Everything by Lynda Barry (have read some of her other works)
How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less by Sarah Glidden (have read)
