June Book List

Some seriously good comics (oh, excuse me, graphic novels):

Shenzhen: A Travelogue from China--Guy Delisle
Great drawings, humorous memoir of a brief period spent living and working in Shenzhen, by a French Canadian comic book/animation artist.

We Are on Our Own: A Memoir--Miriam Katin
The story of a very young girl and her mother escaping Nazis in Hungary at the very end of WWII. Another great use of the comic form to tell a serious story.

Cancer Vixen: A True Story--Marisa Acocella Marchetto
Very funny account of a NY fashonista's fight against breast cancer--great drawings, great use of color.
