Sivan Piatigorsky-Roth

I really enjoyed this quick yet deep read about Princess Diana and what she meant and has come to mean for those who still love her, told from the point of view of the author, who connects her life to their own neurodivergent, transmasc journey. The graphic style was clean, simple, highly "readable," yet evocative.

The title tells the story. Sivan Piatigorsky-Roth talks about why he is obsessed with Diana, Princess of Wales, offering an LGBTQ+ perspective as he recaps her life and death. His facts are all secondhand, his analysis is shallow, and he only wrestles lightly with the fact that he is exploiting her life while criticizing those who exploited her life, but it's still a nice nostalgic wallow for me. I only wish the author had shared as much of his life as he did of Diana's.

Still, a nice diversion.
