zinelib 's review for:
Kimiko Does Cancer: A Graphic Memoir
by Kimiko Tobimatsu
reflective
fast-paced
This is more of a book about having had cancer than having it, which I think is an important part of the story that isn't always told. Kimiko is young, only 25 when she feels a lump. She undergoes a lumpectomy and radiation, negotiating relationships with her family and her girlfriend because that's what happens. Cancer doesn't just happen to the patient, it happens to everyone in their life.
Unlike many graphic memoirs, this one is illustrated by someone else--Keet Geniza, who is a zine maker!
