Davis achieves a rare, subtle poignancy in her narratives that are at once compelling and elusive, pregnant with mystery and a deeply satisfying emotional resonance. Happy shows the full range of Davis’s graphic skills – sketchy drawing, polished pen-and-ink line work, and meticulously designed full-color painted panels – which are always in the service of a narrative that builds to a quietly devastating climax. Davis is one of the finest cartoonists of her generation, and has been producing comics since the mid-2000s. Happy represents the best stories she’s drawn for such connoisseurial venues as Mome, Nobrow, and Lucky Peach, as well as her own self-publishing and web efforts.

"Having spent my formative years in America not speaking English, I know how to be mute my accent sometimes makes people assume I am naive. "As an Asian female, I find that people rarely assume I'm an investigative journalist even after I tell them, they often forget," Kim wrote. Kim argued that her investigative reporting would not have been confused for a personal narrative account were she not Korean or a woman. She wrote in The New Republic recently that the book was not only miscategorized as a North Korean Eat, Pray, Love - a memoir of self-discovery by the writer Elizabeth Gilbert - but it was also trivialized. Kim's reporting turned into the book Without You, There Is No Us, which - much to her dismay - was marketed as a memoir. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.

What she thinks will be an absolute summer nightmare starts out being better than she expected. So, when pleas for a little less Sony and a little more socialization fall unheard on Cyndi’s headphone-covered ears, they decide to send her to summer camp. Cyndi sometimes wishes she could find friends that shared her interests or at least didn’t crap all over hers, and that way, maybe then she wouldn’t be the cafeteria outcast just hanging with her Walkman.Ĭyndi’s introverted ways have of course started to worry her parents. She’s perfectly content to stay at home on the weekends making mix-tapes…well, almost. Kill River by Cameron Roubique introduces us to Cyndi-a girl way more interested in the best songs on the radio and the newest videos in heavy MTV-rotation than trying to figure out her place in the high-school hierarchy. |
