You’ve read what we think and
feel about Ariel Schrag’s Awkward and
Definition, what do other people
think? Here are a few reviews on her first two High School years.
“A joy—one of the most
undervalued treasures of American comics.” —ComicsReporter.com
“Schrag’s perceptiveness and
incredible eye for detail make Definitionbrilliant. Rarely have
I seen such substantial work come from a person of her age.” –Jennifer Joseph, The San
Francisco Bay Guardian
“Mesmerizing. Schrag, even at age
15, is a cartoonist whose ear for language and details and anecdotes surpasses many
more established writers.” —GutterGeek
“Impossible to put down.” —
Maggie Overfelt, The Minnesota Daily
“Humorous, honest, and engagingly
simple, Schrag’s work is the definition of genuine talent.” — Feminist Review
“Ariel Schrag is the graphic artist every midwestern / east coast-ern /
west coast-ern / southern / northern / everywhere-ern queer needs to
experience. Her books, Awkward, Definition, Potential and Likewise document the
uncomfortable twists and turns of figuring out your sexuality in high school,
and the four graphic memoirs perfectly document the insecurities of developing
self-hood and the never-ending, heart-rending cycle of “does she like me /
doesn’t she like me / OH NO SHE DOESN’T LIKE ME.” – Whitney, www.autostraddle.com
“Ariel Schrag captures the American high school experience in all its
awkward, questioning glory in Awkward and Definition, the first of three
amazingly honest autobiographical graphic novels about her teenage years.” – www.graphicnovelreporter.com
