This Beautiful, Ridiculous City by Kay Sohini

adventurous emotional hopeful reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

Graphic memoir presents such a fascinating opportunity to blend text and images. Kay Sohini’s debut is everything you want in a graphic memoir: vivid, captivating, bittersweet, reflective.
She left Calcutta to escape an abusive relationship, and we should be honored that she shared her journey with us. 
As someone who moved across the world to divorce, I understood all those feelings when she landed at JFK. 
Her love for the food of NYC is so profound. Such a necessary joy in a story of complex emotions.
