Commute: An Illustrated Memoir of Female Shame by Erin Williams
2.0
'Commute: An Illustrated Memoir of Female Shame' written and drawn by Erin Williams is about a woman going to work and the feelings she perceives in those around her.
The book spends a long time on the author's morning routine. She catalogs the various people on the bus and the things she sees. It is interspersed with stories of abuse and alcoholism.
I liked the idea of this book more than the execution. The work feels so dire and monotonous. There is probably a tighter story in here, but this one rambles too much. I did like the author's art style, though.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel ABRAMS and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
