Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. Thank You to NetGalley for this eARC!! Eisner Award-nominated artist Mike Hawthorne presents a true and tragic graphic novel memoir about family, abuse, survival and what it means to be Puerto Rican in America. It is a powerful story with amazing graphic illustrations by the author about his life, struggles and family relationships especially with his mother, A comic book artist recounts the complicated relationship he had growing up with his single mother, a troubled woman who abused him physically and emotionally. It's not bad, but there's a heavy-handed shoe metaphor that just doesn't work. Also, like three-quarters of the way through he skips abruptly from being an art-school grad working as a short-order cook in a diner to a successful comic book artist with a wife and three children, and I don't feel this pivot was properly explained, especially in light of all his previous struggles and ongoing turmoil in regards to his mother. Oh, and he has a major dream sequence near the end of the book. I hate dream sequences, especially in my nonfiction. Regardless, Hawthorne has my best wishes for a happy future for himself and his family. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
