Eliza is a thirtysomething struggling single mother and poet. Sasha, a twentysomething yearning for direction in life, just moved back in with her parents and dabbles as a sex worker. The two strike up an unlikely friendship that, as it veers toward something more, becomes a deeply resonant exploration of how far people are willing to go to find intimacy in a society that is increasingly not conducive to it. In Sasha and Eliza, Parrish has created two of the most fully realized characters in recent contemporary fiction. Parrish's gorgeously painted pages showcase a graceful understanding of body language and ear for dialogue, brilliantly using the medium of comics to depict the dissonance between the characters' interior and exterior experiences. Men I Trust is about not-always-healthy people attempting to make healthy connections in a disconnected world, and is one of the most moving and insightful works of literary fiction in any medium this yea Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I would have been happier reading Garfield than this sad slice of life featuring a couple of damaged people crossing paths as they flail about in their lives of quiet desperation. One's a 32-year-old recovering alcoholic, single mother, and aspiring poet. The other is an obsessive yet flighty 29-year-old who has recently moved back in with her parents after a break-up. In the end I cared more about how big or small their hands would be in the next panel than how they coped with their various challenges or developed their new friendship/relationship with one another.
Not for me. ( )
