Autobiography in pictures
Feb. 6th, 2007 10:27 pmSo I just got finished rereading Persepolis and Persepolis 2 (the English editions, if anyone's wondering) in anticipation of loaning my copies to a friend of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
morlock's and because I'm rather excited by the fact that they're making them into a movie. Great read, if anyone's wondering. Next time I have money (which will probably be the fifteenth of never) I need to pick up Marjane Satrapi's other two books.
I have found though, that I really like autobiographical graphic novels. I've always liked reading autobiographies as a kid, fascinated by the idea of someone telling their life story in their own words, but adding someone's own pictures to that adds a whole different level of amazingness. Which explains why I loved and was profoundly moved by Fun Home and way long ago, Maus. Even Persepolis - I love Satrapi's renderings of her life growing up in and growing away from Iran in stark black and white and can't wait to see how that will translate on screen. However, I'm feeling the need for more. Anyone have any graphic autobiographies to recommend? *looks pointedly atgrinninfoole*
I need to get back in the habit of eating lunch. I haven't been lately and I get home cranky, bitchy and starving. I do apologize for myself tonight, I was rather nasty to folk upon returning home. More reasons, I think, to avoid people for a while - apparently my patience is not what it used to be. :P Still once I got some of sunny's very yummy roasted all natural chicken under my belt I was much more human. Oh and The Covenant? About as bad as predicted. "WE ARE THE SONS OF IPSWITCH!!! YOU WILL ME YOUR POWER OR I WILL BEAT YOU AND SUCK OUT YOUR SOUL WITH PSYCHIC FIBEROPTIC CABLES! OOOOH!" *scary fingers* So incredibly silly.
That's really all the news for now.
