Handbook: A Graphic Novel by Kevin Budnik

iantaylor's review

5.0

I reread this book every couple of years, and every time it still hits close to home in the most cathartically melancholy way. There is a certain sense of calm and understanding that comes with each reading, and no matter how many times I circle back to it I always leave the experience feeling present in my surroundings. I first read it back when I was first in recovery while searching online for other males who had struggled with disordered eating, which is how I became familiar with Kevin Budnik's work. So to the author, if you're out there, thanks for sharing your vulnerability - it means as much to 26 year old me and it did to 20 year old me.

Loved it. I'm a big fan of Budnik's drawing style, and the vignettes are very touching.
