pickAnother graphic memoir hit! This time from comic Julia Wertz who documents her life in NYC as a recovering alcoholic and self proclaimed “weirdo”. She‘s super relatable (as a fellow weirdo) with the difficult social interactions and I loved her “urban exploring” (investigating abandoned buildings) adventures! Wertz also describes the horrible dating scene and some close friendship. I really enjoyed this read..though parts were sad it was hopeful.
pickA very honest account of addiction and recovery. Wertz does not sugarcoat. Her main character is lonely, self-deprecating, unsociable and is dating men who treat her terribly. Despite some attempts at comic relief it is overall depressing and sad. But I loved the main character‘s vulnerability and Wertz‘s minimalist artwork, especially when she captures the city or light and shadow.
pickReally enjoyed this graphic memoir. Candid and very funny. Wertz shares her journey from being a young, high-functioning alcoholic and general mess to sober and ready to move on to her next stage in life. Or, as she says, “It‘s about learning how not to be an asshole.”
A graphic memoir and a movie ready for pick-up today. The film is based on the wonderful Foster by Claire Keegan. #libraryhaul
