More DescriptionIn this hilarious graphic memoir, Aron Lee Bowe has wicked fun revisiting her past. She successfully layers her painful childhood, teen and college disasters with a bubbly champagne glaze of hilarity. As Chekhov made clear, the comic-tragic works amazingly well in describing the horrors and joys of life.The writing is minimal (as befits the graphic novel format) and sets the scene for each of five episodic chapters with loopy candor. The agile graphite and watercolor illustrations complement the text perfectly; goofy to the extreme, they are highly descriptive of time, place, and, most importantly, facial expression. The hand-lettered text gracing every page lends credence to the thought and artistry that went into the making of this book.
