Flung Out of Space: Inspired by the Indecent Adventures of Patricia Highsmith by Grace Ellis, Hannah Templer

kxiong5's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional tense medium-paced

4.5

Part of why this book works so well is just how compellingly flawed and fucked up and bitchy Pat Highsmith is as a character. This book does such an incredible job conveying her deep longing and bitterness and literary elitism and shame and conflict. It also has such great comic book and dream sequences (love Hannah Templer’s style and it 100% works with the slightly old-times feel its muted color and gesture lend the book.) One of those graphic novels that sticks with you even as a very fast read.

Read after watching Loving Highsmith. This graphic novel really captures the force of Pat’s personality. Loved the kinetic feel of the artwork.

“Patricia, how do you feel when you experience homosexual urges?”

“Happy. Excited. Abnormal. Conflicted. Guilty.”

this made me sad most of the time, but still really enjoyed it
