a terrific and moving account of a young gay man growing up in the south during the civil rights movement. it felt timely to be reading this right now--tony kushner makes the point powerfully in the intro, so i'm going to quote a long passage: It articulates a crying need for solidarity, it performs the crucial function of remembering, for the queer community, how essential to the birth of our politics of liberation the civil rights movement was. The point, it seems to me, is not that one movement co-opts the energy or the nobility or the history of another; not that one people, rising to an angry knowledge of how it has been abused, competes for status of "most abused" with any other; but rather that we need to know the genealogies of our movements, and with that knowledge come to understand the interdependence of all liberation struggles. i'd really be fascinated to know how much of this story is autobiographical. i'm sure i'll read this again, in part to be able to devote less attention to plot and more attention to cruse's incredibly detailed artwork. at some point in the middle of reading this i read his acknowledgements at the end, and he described all the research he did on the historically accurate depiction of everything in the book--from cars and architecture to guns, movie cameras, record labels, and "other collectibles of a bygone era"--and then i really realized how much more impressive the drawings are. i've read a little bit about how cruse went deeply into debt to write this book, which took 4 years--now i feel guilty for buying the book used. he deserves my dollars! anyway, a great read, highly recommended.

When I first starting reading, I was mesmerized, captured. The story pulled me in immediately. After the first few chapters, I had to set the book down and take a break. It was too tough to read. The scenes were all too graphic, emotional. This was not a reflection of the story or the writing; just the unimaginable horror about to be described. Ms. de Rosnay is an excellent writer. Her use of the English language, intermingled with her French, including her reference to many things Parisian, took me away into a world I didn't want to be in. But the writing drew me in further and further. The flashback technique was well-done. The chapters were very short, I loved it. Overall, I highly recommend this book. Like many books, ending are very tough to write. I found the ending rather predictable, which left me a bit deflated. But at least there was closure. I also thought that Zoe, the little French-American daughter was unrealistically mature. And I guess I don't get it. Why would this woman, the journalist, be so obsessed with the Jewish family who once lived in the apartment she was to live in. I understand the discomfort with it but no the obsession that drove her to finding the family and confronting them. Sadly, in my opinion, she ruined lives. And the reason she did...selfishly wanting to let the family know her family cared about them. Overall, great read but be prepared for tears and admonishment for the Nazi era.
