Woman's world : a graphic novel por Graham Rawle
I loved the graphic novel style - it took Rawle such a heinously long time to write this in magazine clippings. But, I knew the twist to the story by page 20, and it was a bit of a slog once I guessed the 'secret'. A good book, but I couldn't get into it once I had my suspicions confirmed.
Norma, a strange and unreliable protagonist, quite literally pieced together from women's magazines, yearns to burst out of the constrained house-bound life in which she has been forced to live since her "accident". But it soon becomes obvious that all is not as it seems and that, if she succeeds, it could spell disaster for everyone... This is a tragedy, and a farce, and a piece of art. Brilliant.

AriadneAranea | 5 outras críticas | Jun 17, 2011 | Woman's World is a marvelous novel constructed completely out of women's magazines from the 1960s. Each page is a collage of words and paragraphs put together in great detail by Graham Rawle. In itself, this is quite impressive. Add in a wonderful plot that flows easily despite the cut-up method of construction, and what's left is a brilliant novel that is just as much art as literary genius.
The story is full of mystery and intrigue, but done in an intelligent manner. Rawle does not half-heartedly conceal various twists in his story. Instead, they are revealed so bluntly that there is a moment of being astounded, then the "Ah ha" and ability to piece previous clues together. However, the novel is not merely mystery, but also social critique of the language used to describe a "woman's world" and gender roles in general. Rawle's ability to work a variety of genre's into one book is what makes it fabulous.
Rawle's Woman's World is simply an incredible piece of visual art and writing that is inspirational in its' creativity and intellectual depth.… (mais)

When Gregory joins his local camera club, he decides to keep a diary to record his photographic achievements. Then he finds an old picture, which he is convinced is of an angel, and he is soon in the grip of an obsession. Could a newspaper cutting from 1959 be a clue to the angel's true identity?
