Dragon's Breath: and Other True Stories by MariNaomi

5.0

The stories in this collection are so brief that it doesn't seem possible for them to be so striking and revelatory. But taken as a whole, Dragon's Breath is the best type of graphic memoir - beautifully honest, funny, astute and effortlessly smart. It was captivating from the first page to the last. It makes me remember falling in love with John Porcellino's work, though it has its own unique and memorable voice. Bonus points for a thoughtful/hilarious/horrifying story about bed bugs (a touchstone topic for me.)
