nibs's review
4.0
When I started it, the introductory bit's focus on exercise threw me off. But once it go more memoir-y again, I got really into it. All this pondering of the self, bodies, connectedness.
It was a really good book for a bookclub. We discussed so many details that I didn't notice reading myself.
- The beautiful collaboration between Alison and Holly in making this book. Bechdel allowing her to help with the colouring a signifier of how she is finally letting other people in re: her work
- The climbing wall page reflects the story of the whole book.
- The 12-step exercise thing also encapsulates the whole book.
- This idea of Bechdel as a trustworthy author, despite her unreliableness.
Moderate: Alcoholism and Drug use
