Hyperbole
and a half, the much loved blog from Alison Brosh, has its’ own cult following
and is here drawn and expanded upon in this colourful, confessional, vulnerable,
hilarious and intense graphic memoir. Arranged as a collection of personal
essays, the choppy styling is best sipped, not binged. Her deceptively childlike
scrawl resonates with self-deprecating humour as does her relationship with her
idiotic dogs, serving as a counterpoint to the depths of her depression. In sharing
with the reader valuable insights of what it is like to be in that space, Brosh
champions the little bit of weird in all of us as we can’t help but laugh
along.
