This Beautiful, Ridiculous City (eBook, ePUB)

A Graphic Memoir

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This Beautiful, Ridiculous City is a visually elaborate, full-colour graphic memoir about a literature, culture and New York

A homecoming in reverse, This Beautiful, Ridiculous City is about moving across the world to escape a deeply abusive relationship, about recovering one's memories from fragmentation through writing, about finding one's way home through food, and about New York through an immigrant perspective. Kay Sohini's New York City is more diverse than depicted in the nineties sitcoms the author grew up with, infinitely more ridiculous than captured in any cultural production, and more beautiful than she could have hoped for.

This Beautiful, Ridiculous City uses the personal as a window into gendered abuse and its effect on memory, as well as into cultural imperialism, migration and assimilation. It is also about the implications of deeply loving and calling a place home where you are, on some level, always seen as foreign and the Other.
