Gender Queer: A Memoir
by Maia Kobabe
emotional
funny
informative
inspiring
reflective
medium-paced
I waited SO LONG to read this book and it was worth the wait.
It was a beautifully written and illustrated graphic memoir full of unanswered questions, doubts, and lots of gay things. Basically, a book right up my alley.
I don’t think I can talk enough about the amazing metaphors and similes throughout the book that helpfully depict Maia’s thoughts and feelings. Specifically, I enjoyed and appreciated the “gender is a landscape” metaphor.
The jumps in time would normally have annoyed me as this tactic usually does, but in this case, the time jump confusion only enhanced Maia’s confusion in emselves and how e identified.
There’s no doubt this is an important book that anyone should read if they so choose.
