| Rent Girl |
I finished Rent Girl. A wonderful graphic novel about drugs and prostitution in a lesbian life. It is beautifully illustrated by Laurenn McCubbin who does amazing work. I enjoyed the book although the tone was more melancholy and aloof than I tend to care for. I felt like I was listening to Kurt Cobain the entire time. I enjoyed the book. The artwork matched the feeling of the words perfectly.
I have issues with grammar. I am technically and professionally a grammarian. (Don't point out my blog errors) I don't like to think about it that much, which might explain why I make so many mistakes when I am not working. I usually think that being too grammatically preoccupied leads to bad writing. Although my artist likes to take over, the little grammar lady was yelling throughout this book. There were so many overlooked errors. I kept rereading sentences to see if there was a new word I didn't know about only to find that it was one more typo. Some sentences overlapped needlessly. I kept getting upset for caring but it did detract from the beauty for me. In an email I could careless. In a blog I really don't care that much either but it a book, and such a beautiful book it seemed somewhat sacrilegious. |
