Sam just tried to read Ghost World and gave up in disgust, which suggested the comparison to me. Similar themes---adolescents being adolescenty---but I prefer Skim's less artsy/futile plot. Granted, it's been a while since I read Ghost World, so maybe I should pick it up again. ( ) Affecting, believable and resonant story of adolescent loaners dealing with alienation, grief, hypocrisy, the tyrrany of the masses, love, evolving friendship... that kinda stuff. To be reductive, something between Heathers and Ghost World, but more rooted in reality than either. With a little bit of wicca added to the mix (I mention in case that seals the deal for ya). Nicely drawn, with a brushy style, this is good comics. Spare and excellent writing paired with eloquent imagery. I don't know what I was expecting, but it blew me away. There was one image in particular that I sort of took in when reading the story. Stopped reading. Thought: that is an image of a woman drawn by someone who is in love with her. That is a first crush on paper. I read it and re-read it. It delighted me. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Skim is Kimberly Keiko Cameron, a not-slim, would-be Wiccan goth stuck in a private girls' school in Toronto. When a classmate's boyfriend kills himself because he was rumoured to be gay, the school goes into mourning overdrive, each clique trying to find something to hold on to and something to believe in. It's a weird time to fall in love, but that's high school, and that's what happens to Skim when she starts to meet in secret with her neo-hippie English teacher, Ms. Archer. But when Ms. Archer abruptly leaves, Skim struggles to cope with her confusion and isolation, armed with her trusty journal and a desire to shed old friendships while cautiously approaching new ones. Depression, love, sexual identity, crushes, manipulative peers --teen life in all its dramatic complexities is explored in this touching, pitch-perfect, literary graphic masterpiece. Cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki collaborate brilliantly in this poignant glimpse into the heartache of being sixteen. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
