Woman's World: A Graphic Novel by Graham Rawle

4.0

This was a really interesting book, and I really enjoyed studying it for a Queer Fiction module on my course. The format was possibly the most interesting thing about it for me - the 'graphic novel' aspect really added another layer of meaning to the text - but I was also fairly gripped by the plot as I never really knew what was going to happen and always looked forward to reading more. The queer themes of cross-dressing and gender performativity were explored in a really interesting way, although if you read the transvestism in the novel as a presentation of mental illness then this is obviously quite problematic. I would definitely recommend this to people who want to read queer fiction or people who like to analyse and deconstruct texts.
