Awkward and Definition: The High School Comic Chronicles of Ariel Schrag
A Glbt, Comics, Memoir book. I approached Ariel Schrags Awkward and Definition with a little bit of trepidation. Earlier this year...
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. During the summer following each year at Berkeley High School in California, Ariel wrote a comic book about her experiences, which she would then photocopy and sell around school. Some friends thrilled to see themselves in the comic, others not so much, but everyone was interested. Awkward chronicles Ariel's freshman year, and Definition, her sophomore year. With anxiety in excess and frustration to the fullest, Ariel dives in -- meeting new people, going to concerts, crushing out, loving chemistry, drawing comics, and obsessing over everything from glitter-laden girls to ionic charges and the constant pursuit of the number-one score. Totally true and achingly honest, with every cringe-inducing encounter and exhilarating first moment documented -- Awkward and Definition is an unflinching look at what it's like being a teenage girl in America.

She's into L7, she crushes out on boys, she goes to gym class.... I approached Ariel Schrags Awkward and Definition with a little bit of trepidation. Earlier this year I made the proclamation that I was going to read one graphic novel a week, and since Im an equally-opportunity reader I went in search of female authors. Since, Ive already read Persepolis and Fun Home I had to do a little digging.... I think this was her first book (its been a while since I read these). Ariel Schrag wrote and drew a comic book every year in high school. It was completely autobiographical, just talking about things that were happening to her. The first couple of books, I quite liked - she is very honest and open. A little too open sometimes (you...
