Thapp explores one young woman’s feelings over the course of a year, from the highs of a sunny summer day to the doldrums of a gray winter. The artwork is beautiful and evocative (and illustrated by Thapp). We see the woman energized and working with purpose, and we see her depressed and struggling to cope. We see her embrace her connection to nature, and find strength in expressing herself through her art. As she nurtures her plants, she nurtures herself, allows herself a quiet respite to regroup and be ready for Spring’s growth. The text is spare and poetic, although she does begin each seasonal shift with a few paragraphs to set the mood. Feelings is a graphic novel memoir by author Manhit Thapp as she goes through the different shades of anxiety and depression through the seasons and year. Thapp really dives into showing what it’s like to have anxiety and depression. Because, let’s be honest, those two things are not fun, nor are they pretty. But Thapp does a magnificent job at showing both with her beautiful artwork. At first I thought this would be about seasonal depression, and in a way, it is, but it goes into so much more. Especially about the voices Thapp is hearing in her head and how loud they can get. That’s what it’s like inside my head constantly so I felt that hard. This is a beautiful graphic novel memoir that I will highly suggest for those who, even though it’s a bit of a tough subject, want to see others who also deal with anxiety and depression shown within gorgeous panels of art. *A thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read this. This is my honest and unbiased review* Hello Fellow Readers! This was such a unique graphic novel. Thapp really outdid herself on the artwork, there was so much detail and thought put into each frame, I had to look through multiple times so I did not miss anything. The art really set the mood for each season Thapp represented in this book, it almost felt like visual poetry. I would love to have Thapp's artwork on my walls at home as I loved it. The story really complimented the artwork and I found myself feeling each emotion Thapp displayed in real time.I was also able to really empathize with the story as I found myself in these same situations. The only complaint I would have is that I would have loved for it to have been longer. Overall if you love visual books, this one is a must. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

""How are you feeling?" It's a difficult question to answer, let alone capture in visual form. But Manjit Thapp, popular Instagram artist and illustrator of The Little Book of Feminist Saints, does just that with touching honesty, exploring the depth, variety, and manifestation of the emotions that we all share, but often struggle to articulate. With lyrical, poetic prose and stunning graphic art, this book excavates what lies beneath that all too-common response and emboldens us to celebrate, and truly feel, our feelings. Thapp carries us along as she experiences various emotions throughout the year, working her way through the six seasons of the Indian calendar. From the spark of possibility and jolt of creativity in High Summer to the desolation and numbness of Winter, Thapp implores us to consider the seasons of our own emotional journeys and the moods that can change as quickly as the weather, allowing us to take stock and take comfort"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
