Anke Gladnick’s graphic allegorical memoir Threshold featured beautiful art and conversations about identity, especially trans identity. It was very metaphorical and it took me a while to fully understand what they were trying to say, but I enjoyed it fully.

I felt that this was a very moving and relatable portrait of the uncertainty and loneliness involved in being trans masculine and learning how to discover yourself. The art and settings were surreal and slightly otherworldly, yet the story still resonated with me for its realistic foundation. I bought this book in a local comics shop because I was intrigued by the cover although I had no idea what it would actually be about, so I feel like I was drawn to it in an almost magical sense. I highly recommend it as the writing, illustration and tackling of personal and difficult subject matter were all well done.
