Representaion Supposing Books Daddy's Girl

Daddy's Girl is a powerful book that uses a childlike graphic style to explore the adolescence of a young girl, Lily, whose life is being destroyed by sexual abuse. Drechsler pulls no punches in her depiction of incest, and many scenes are hard to read, but this book shows that comics can be a vehicle for serious subjects; the drawings pull the reader into her world more completely than the written word ever could. Drechsler's depiction of childhood is perfect, and there are happy moments within the horror of Lily's life. In one chapter, Lily and a friend contemplate suicide, then walk into the woods, away from their problems. In the last panel, as they sit eating tiny wild strawberries, there is a moment of hope which resonates long after the book is finished.

Comment On Out Of Books Daddy's Girl

This was like a collection of short stories, the first set dealing with the character of Lily, and the latter with a character named Fran. There were strong themes of sexual abuse, including graphic depictions of the abuse taking place. The style of the art is reminiscent of the Expressionists--and her heavy lines and cluttered scenes definitely create a mood of anxiety. Most of the stories are in black and white, although there is one piece in color. One thing that bothered me a bit was that I

Very emotionally intense short stories about a girl's sexual abuse and emotional disconnect from her awful, obtuse parents. That it really happened makes the events absolutely horrific, and Dreschler pulls no punches showing how her relationships with friends, school and siblings were completed overwhelmed by the emotional turmoil she dealt with.Powerful work.

The most disturbing thing I've ever read.

Really well written. Very touching. You get sucked in to the world. But the world is very upsetting, scary, terryfing, upsetting. :'( Horrifying.

So I havent read a book in six weeks, but I have been reading magazines, including a 2002 Comics Journal I picked up at Comicopia that features mile-long interviews with both Will Eisner and Debbie Drechsler. Bonanza! Handily, the library had a 2008 reissue of Daddys Girl. It is brilliant but excruciating. Almost every line is distorted and every surface riddled with repetitive detail so that the images seem to be thick with anxiety. Drechsler is unreserved in depicting violencethe child

Even though I gave it a 4 I wouldn't say I "really liked it." This isn't the kind of book you "like," if that makes sense, because it deals with some really hard stuff. The pictures get graphic at some points (no pun intended) so I would not recommend this for anyone under say 16 or 17 at the youngest, unless they are a teen who has been through sexual abuse/incest/emotional abuse/bullying and the related themes in this book.It was well done, with an original drawing style that brings to mind a

This is definitely a grim book - in the tradition of Allison Bechdel and Phoebe Gloekner it tells the story from the POV of an adolescent being sexually abused by her father. It's a sensitive book with sad an depressing adult figures. The illustrations are well done and convey the smothering atmosphere the girls grew up in.
