Just finished "It's Lonely at the Center of the Earth" by Zoe Thorogood.
CW: Frank/graphic discussion of suicide and depression (not in this post but in the book).
It feels a bit wrong to simply give it my review here as I would another graphic memoir, because it's much more personal and less consensual than the usual. It feels less like Thorogood has invited us into her life than like she was forced to put her life on display in order to survive, and while I selfishly like to read into the book that she benefited in some way from the process, she's honest about how tenuous and sometimes false that claim can be. Knowing what I've learned from this book about Thorogood's life and demons, I don't want her to feel the mortification of being perceived by me, and so perhaps the best thing I could do is to simply unread the book and pull it back out of my memories.
I did not find Thorogood's life relatable, nor pitiable (although my instinct bends in that direction), but instead sacred and unknowable. I suspect that her writing and drawing has helped others in similar circumstances, but she leaves me with no illusion that this fact brings her any form of peace or joy. I wonder what she would feel reading "Lab Girl" or "The Deep Dark," but she has been honest enough to convey that such speculation on my part is a bit intrusive.
I guess the one other thing I have to say: Zoe Thorogood has through artistic perseverance developed an awe-inspiring mastery of the comic medium, from panel composition, through to page layout and writing. This book wields both Truth and Beauty.

Was die Rechten da als Wirtschaftspolitik machen, ist ein Rückzugskampf. Die CDU gibt europäische Technologieführerschaft im Automobilbau auf und igelt sich in der sicheren aber aussterbenden Verbrennerniesche ein.
Das wird Arbeitsplätze kosten und niemand von diesen Kurzblickern hat einen Plan, wie wir in anderen Bereichen Wertschöpfung in Deutschland und Europa sichern. Das wird uns Wohlstand kosten und unsere Abhängigkeit weiter steigern.

Attached: 1 image Die Kurzsichtigkeit und Lobby-Hörigkeit der Konservativen ist dramatisch. Diese Entscheidung sabotiert nicht nur den Klimaschutz, sondern auch die Zukunftsfähigkeit der europäischen Autoindustrie.

The fact that almost no one streams “La Vie en Rosé” by ZOË on Spotify is wonderful, it makes the album feel like a hidden Austrian treasure to me, to be clear, I don't use Spotify, and got the album on qobuz "Download Store".
