![]() ![]() By that, I mean that it was drawn akin to an issue of Lumberjanes with everyone fully clothed and no body parts exaggerated or disproportionate to reality and no suggestive body language or poses. ![]() While I'm sure that this graphic novel appeals to everyone who enjoyed the Lunar Chronicles and that it's audience was much bigger than YA alone, the art was everyone friendly. Make no mistake, this did not detract from my overall enjoyment of the graphic novel, but just a heads up to future readers. The blue hues that were used were gorgeous and evident from the cover but I did think at least the oranges would be sprinkled in there. I was also surprised by the lack of color. I've seen thick hardcovers there too, but they were always compilations of a huge set of comics that were a series put together or something. When I finally got a chance to get my hands on it, I was surprised that it was a legit hardcover and looked like a book on the outside rather than a graphic novel would in the comics section. His answer was that he can run over to Barnes and Noble and grab it during the rest of his errands for the day. ![]() I normally like to read ebooks but my husband has been listening to the series (as I had done) and just got Stars Above and so I asked his opinion on whether we should get the print hardcover or the ebook. I already love the series and this is written in comic form so it's that much easier to do in just one sitting. ![]() My husband was surprised by this but I imagine that no bookish person would be. ![]()

What happens when constant revision is required of queer women trying to navigate and self-actualize in straight spaces? And what might the tracing of McCullers’s life - her history, her secrets, her legacy - reveal to Shapland about herself? Her curiosity gives way to fixation, not just with this newly discovered side of McCullers’s life, but with how we tell queer love stories. ![]() Though Shapland recognizes herself in the letters, which are intimate and unabashed in their feelings, she does not see McCullers as history has portrayed her. Shapland is a graduate student when she first uncovers letters written to Carson McCullers by a woman named Annemarie. ![]() How do you tell the real story of someone misremembered - an icon and idol - alongside your own?
