This is a great short graphic novel, particularly when you consider that it's Von Allan's first published work. Like other authors' first works, it feels very autobiographical, and Allan has made it no secret that the story is inspired from his own childhood. The story is straightforward and may not contain any diversions, but that only serves to emphasize the important topic of mental illness, and the neglect and poverty that it can cause. When Marie's mom inevitably regresses, there are no distractions to keep you from absorbing the full impact of what the young girl suffers through. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"The road to god knows..." is the story of Marie, a teenage girl coming to grips with her Mom's schizophrenia. There's no handbook, no guide to help her deal with what life throws at her. As a result, she's struggling to grow up fast; wrestling with poverty, loneliness, and her Mom's illness every step of the way. Betty, Marie's Mom, can't help; she's living with an illness that's slowly getting worse and increasingly frightening, and she just doesn't have the resources left over at the end of the day to help Marie. With her Mom absorbed in her own problems, Marie is essentially alone while she learns to deal with the chaos in her young life. Marie's youth makes it that much harder for her to cope as a teenager, she just doesn't have the life experience to feel confident about her decisions. At the start of the story, we see a scared young girl, uncertain and overwhelmed, but as Betty collapses into a full nervous breakdown, Marie is forced to examine herself and her life and come to a decision: does she continue to be a child, reacting to what¿s happening around her? Or does she take control of her life, come what may? Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
