Gabrielle Bell

The first full-length Graphic Memoir from one of the masters of the form.

Everything is Flammable

I enjoyed reading this graphic novel which touches on Bell's anxiety (I can relate!) and deals with her struggling yet tenacious mother in Northern California, plus an assortment of oddballs and weirdos she meets along the way.

Everything is Flammable walks the line between self-indulgent vignettes and actual memoir rather well. Though there is not necessarily a very concrete story here, I was still drawn into the understated narrative occurring between the author and her mother. It's nice to see complex stories about mothers and daughters, that do not fall into the saint/sinner dichotomy.
