In this graphic memoir, Georgia Webber immerses us in the world she is thrown into when her voice starts to fail her and she has to navigate the world without talking—something that many, if not most, of us take for granted. The art is mostly black and white, with slashes of red to indicate speech. The challenges and frustrations she faces are vividly rendered. The only thing I thought might be missing was an afterword to say how she was doing; I had to know how she was! ( ) This book-long expression of anguish and pain speaks for anyone who has suffered from an ill-defined and hard to treat medical condition. The art becomes raw and splotchy to show the increasing frustration and despair of the creator. But while I can recognize and appreciate the intent of this work and the technical aspects of it, I found myself detached. I can be a cold fish, and this book just didn't have the hard-to-define jolt I needed to trigger my empathy and connection to the material. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Part memoir, part medical cautionary tale, Dumb tells the story of how an urban twentysomething copes with the everyday challenges that come with voicelessness. Webber adroitly uses the comic's medium to convey the practical hurdles she faced as well as the fear and dread that accompanied her increasingly lonely journey to regain her life. Her raw cartooning style, occasionally devolving into chaotic scribbles, splotches of ink, and overlapping montages, perfectly captures her frustration and anxiety. But her ordeal ultimately becomes a hopeful story. Throughout, she learns to lean on the support of her close friends, finds self-expression in creating comics, and comes to understand and appreciate how deeply her voice and identity are intertwined.
