A Child's Life and Other Stories
by Phoebe Gloeckner
challenging
dark
emotional
sad
fast-paced
One of the most interesting and depressing collections of stories I’ve ever read. The art is amazing. I initially wanted to read the first couple of stories before bed and ended up staying awake for a couple of hours, devouring the entire novel.
The stories show the more traumatic sides of humanity and seem to come from experiences of the author or others in their life. It is a very authentic showcase of child abuse, trauma, addiction, and sexual assault. If you have survived any of this, you will connect with this in positive and negative ways.
