However, the author shares a lot about her own experiences in higher education, learning about what it means to be queer, familial relationships, and how race placed a role in shaping her coming-of-age experience. A strong book to add to a library collection. no reviews | add a review

"In this delightfully compelling full-color graphic memoir, the author shares her process of undoing the effects of a patriarchal, colonial society on her self-image, her sexuality, and her concept of freedom. Reflecting on the ways in which oppression was the cause for her late bloom into queerness, we are invited to discover people and things in the author's life that helped shape and inform her LGBTQ identity. And we come to an understanding of her holistic definition of queerness"-- No library descriptions found. |

I expected to learn something about how Octavia Butler's work* relates to all of this, and I would have been very interested in that, but it's just too short! (Did I miss it somehow?)

I haven't read that one yet, but I did read another from the Patternmaster series, and the horror level is pretty much in line with all her other work. ( )
