Prompt 2: A book from your least-read genre last year
Mine was...graphic novel! And I love graphic novels! I was shocked but also pleasantly surprised. This is actually my third graphic/illustrated/manga/comic book I've read this year (the others being What is Obscenity? and the Japanese manga). GT is different though, it's not that illustrated, it's the same drawings of people on top of different images but still telling a multidimensional and complex story of the self. I saw Mira Jacob at AWP and really liked her, she has this charm about her. Not only was I interested in the book itself but I also wanted to see how she made the book. Her artwork is very clever. At first the repeated images was a little distracting but I got used to it when I got deeper into the story.
