I’m in the Paper Recommending graphic Memoirs

The local paper, the Wisconsin state Journal, has a regular Sunday column where book-related folk recommend three titles. I was the most recent participant, recommending Lucy Knisley’s An Age of License, Mimi Pond’s Over Easy, and Liz Prince’s Tomboy.

Somewhat ironically, this was just after I stopped subscribing to the paper — they chose to use a cable television company-like technique of expecting me to pay 50% much more for the same product when they raised their rates recently — but I was amazed at how numerous people clipped the column and discussed it to me.
