Alison Bechdel's desert island top 10 em Other People's Libraries (Fevereiro 2016)

Críticas

I enjoyed the re-read a lot more. Probably from having read more Bechdel. But I enjoy the solipsistic parts that are essentially what became her later ouvre more than the stuff about her father. But still, much more engaging than I remembered.

I was impressed by its complexity, but I can't say I loved reading it.
