For quite some time I have been searching for works that convey the life experiences of the twentysomething, the twentysomething that I can relate to. Someone who is not of sound mind and of a similar mindset to me. And I have, finally, found that author in Lucy Knisley. And so of course I promptly passed An Age of License on to Laura as soon as I finished! But on to my thoughts on the book. Lucy doesn’t censor her writing or her drawing. I say that not because it is in anyway graphic (it’s not), but because her complete honesty and transparency with her feelings is refreshing and insightful. An Age of License reads as it really is – Lucy’s diary of her trip through northern Europe on her book tour – and it is really neat to read about book about a book tour! It also chronicles her relationship with a very opinionated young Swede. I loved reading about Lucy’s stressors on her trip as well as her enjoyable moments, and having them illustrated certainly helps! The sense of loss (of oneself) and confusion over who you are and what you are meant to be, to me, defines the life stage known as one’s twenties and Lucy experiences them both, and chronicles them with a deft and skillful hand, I highly recommend it! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Cartoonist Lucy Knisley got an opportunity that most only dream of: a travel-expenses-paid trip to Europe and Scandinavia, thanks to a book tour. An Age of License is Knisley's comics travel memoir recounting her adventures. It's punctuated by whimsical visual devices; peppered with the cats she meets along the way; and, of course, features her hallmark -- drawings and descriptions of food that will make your mouth water. But it's not all kittens and raclette crêpes: Knisley's experiences are colored by anxieties, introspective self-inquiries, and quotidian revelations -- about traveling alone in unfamiliar countries, and about her life and career.

I appreciate that she recognizes the privilege to even have this 'age of license' moment traveling, especially as a creative type tight on funds, and thought that she covered her brief relationship with Henrik thoughtfully, capturing the feelings of infatuation and physical chemistry while backburner worries about how long it will last linger without villainizing him or revealing too much.
The back's copy says "Eat, Pray, Love of the Girls generation" and while I haven't consumed either of those things, I am looking at that description with some side eye... introspective privileged woman adventures for young white millenials? Probably not wrong, but also not a positive plug in the eyes of some readers. ( )
