We Ate Wonder Bread by Nicole Hollander
3.0
An interesting ramble. A woman recalls her unconventional childhood in an apartment with her working class Jewish family. Sort of Really Rosie and sort of bizarre. I haven’t read Nicole Hollander’s comic strip and I’d like to, I think I might like short sassy pieces rather than this patchy, incomplete autobiography.
The pictures are purposely amateur and I think I might have liked it more if it was all comic or all photos or all text. This mismatch just added to the already asked and repeated story.
I did enjoy it though. I love that the mum is such a character and not just a typical mum. I like the casual dangers and the disgusting ‘recipes’.
It reminds me of Lynda Barry and the Marlys stories but I must say I much prefer Marlys.
