Un libro: Morti e sepolti
Agatha Raisin, o la ami o la odi, non ci possono essere vie di mezzo. Uno ad uno sto leggendo tutti i libri della Serie, per cui è evidente che al netto di tutti i suoi comportamenti deprecabili, anche se talvolta innescati da buone intenzioni (ma non sempre), io amo Agatha.
Given the lack of a search function, I don't know who recommended Kate #Beaton's "#Ducks" here - but whoever it was, thank you!
Powerful, devastating, deep, multi facetted - all of the praise for the book. It's heavy, in both actual physicality of it and in the topic, but once I started reading, I could not stop, powering through it within a day.
(And a deep, deep reminder why pay for education is wrong. WRONG.)
In the 90s, I came across an amazing #Livejournal based web #comic, Hark! A Vagrant, written by Kate #Beaton amd was hooked from day one. I ordered mugs and T-shirts, because this was *my* comic. When #Drawn&Quarterly published the collections of the web comic, I was there. When Kate wrote her childrens' books, I bought them too.
Now, it's 2022, and Kate Beaton has published a truly amazing autobiographical graphic novel, surely one of the best things I've read this year: Ducks-Two Years in the Oil Sands. It's funny, it's sad, it's upsetting and it's beautiful. It's personal and political and educational. Right now, if I have one 2022 #book recommendation, this would be it! You'll laugh, and you'll cry and you'll get angry. You might even recognize yourself and the place you came from. This is a beautiful piece of #art.
