Recensioner i media
“an engaging book...recommended”—Association of Jewish Libraries Reviews; “Graphic Details succeeds as a stand-alone guidebook to some of the best Jewish women comics artists working today”—Jewish Book Council; “Sarah Lightman is like the poster-child for a new kind of feminism activist—scholar, artist, curator, and cheerleader for comics that reveal and shape new forms of Jewish consciousness… Graphic Details is much more than a book. It is an exhibition about women who make an exhibition of themselves; a re-envisioning of the comics canon that has too often been seen as exclusively male; a celebration of difference; and a deeply immersive response to what it might mean to be a Jewish woman artist in the 21st century. …the range and depth of experience the book covers is both engaging and moving”—Jewish Quarterly; “a much-needed book both because of its specific information and for the fact it touches on subjects long ignored”—Lilith Magazine; “important and exciting...offers new perspectives on extremely talented and well-known comics creators...truly a collection for everyone and for all times and seasons”—ImageTexT; “valu[able]”—European Comic Art; “exciting...delivers an important insight into a still-undervalued field of study”— TORCH The Oxford Research Center in the Humanities; “a wonderful resource...Lightman is clearly a tour de force, and the energy and care required to assemble [this book] produced a vital, hybrid, indubitably important volume from which people can discover and appreciate new idioms”—Hillary Chute, Images; “Graphic Details: Jewish Women’s Confessional Comics in Essays and Interviews is an overdue, indispensable, and enthralling look at some of the best cartoonists working today.”—Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home and Are You My Mother?; “This fascinating book opens the door to a world most of us did not know existed: the graphic universe created by Jewish women comics artists. Through interviews, biographies, personal reflections, and critical essays, Graphic Details provides an astonishing guided tour of contemporary sequential art at the forefront of visual culture. If the combination of Jewish, women, funny, comics, and art seems perplexing at first glance, the pages of Sarah Lightman’s beautifully curated collection will change your mind. A must-read.”—Nancy K. Miller, author of What They Saved: Pieces of a Jewish Past.
