Why I Killed Peter di Alfred

One knows from page 3 that sexual abuse is involved, and yet author maintains terrifying tension throughout. No graphic illustration of abuse, but exquisitely evokes the burden of alienation that abuse creates.

Why I Killed Peter di Alfred

The final book, in my Christmas Day stack, has been read. Another graphic novel, this one disturbing. I was left with questions . . was this story - about childhood sexual abuse - true? The book, on the flyleaf, is classified as an autobiographical graphic novel. . . a bit of online research confirms that it is, indeed, autobiographical. There is a starkness to the story . . the facts are presented matter-of-factly . . without embellishment and with an amazing lack of emotion until the final chapters. The book is graphic, descriptive and somewhat cathartic . . the illustrations and photographs stark and very effective. The book left me feeling conflicted . . . is it a painful memoir or a masterpiece? Five stars . . not for the feint of heart.

Why I Killed Peter di Alfred

In graphic-novel format, Oliver describes how a friendly new priest arrives in town and ends up sexually molesting Oliver at a youth summer camp. The incident haunts Oliver, until finally, as a 35-year-old, he decides to confront his demons by putting it all down in a graphic novel and returning to the summer camp. A memorable presentation of a searing experience. I can see it inspiring similar victims.

Ce monstre qui nous ressemble di Olivier Ka

Un roman qui aborde la crise d'identité au moment de l'adolescence, et la révolte qui gronde en soi lorsqu'on se cherche, qu'on se sent agressé par l'extérieur, par la famille, incompris. Florentin en vient même à être persuadé qu'il a un monstre en lui, qu'il est lui-même un loup-garou qui se transforme la nuit et attaque les autres. Toute cette violence qu'il ressent, c'est sans doute ça.. Seul l'amour le sortira de ce mal-être profond.
Agréable à lire, niveau 4e, 3e.
