Dancing After TEN von Vivian Chong
Note: I accessed a digital review copy through Edelweiss.
An interesting account of immense exertion, and a fascinating creative process.
A young Chinese Canadian woman — an artist and musician — on vacation in the Caribbean has a headache and pops an ibuprofen only to find herself having an extreme and rare reaction called toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).

Through these terrifying events and a long, slow recovery, Vivian Chong's whole world seems to shrink and go away, but she is determined to redefine herself and continue to express herself through her creativity. I am horrified by what she has endured and in awe of what she continues to accomplish in the face of so many challenges.… (mehr)

In this graphic memoir, Georgia Webber immerses us in the world she is thrown into when her voice starts to fail her and she has to navigate the world without talking—something that many, if not most, of us take for granted. The art is mostly black and white, with slashes of red to indicate speech. The challenges and frustrations she faces are vividly rendered. The only thing I thought might be missing was an afterword to say how she was doing; I had to know how she was!
