review 1: This is comics as literature at it's finest. Wertz is brilliant. Dealing with intertwining autobio topics like illness, reclusion, alcoholism, literature, family, and work, this comic is a massive piece of work, a series of shorter stories that weave together as one. Next up I need to read all of Wertz's other books so I can see the rest of this entertaining, funny, engrossing, deep, beautiful, struggling, and humbling picture.
review 2: I really loved this and Julia Wertz is very funny. I was touched by her sense that a chronic illness wasn't interesting to major publishers, since I too have a chronic illness which isn't very dramatic or interesting to others. She is so acerbic and misanthropic, and yet people seem to like her none the less. There were a few f... moreaults - after a while I began to question whether she was always so funny and long-winded every time she opened her mouth - didnt' she ever say ordinary things? Also the stories overlapped in a slightly clumsy way. But I am glad that I read this and now I want to read the rest of her books. less
