This book took me a long time to get into, but has gotten deeper under my skin than I expected--it's dense and nuanced and incredibly historically rich. ( ) I'm finally giving up and calling this a DNF. I tried, and I wanted to really enjoy this, but in the end, it's begun feeling more like long-ignored homework on a to-do list than anything I can enjoy, so I'm calling it quits at this point. Maybe around the 25% mark? My version has an introduction by Tony Kushner which made me really excited to read this work, and it's very possible it's a classic of its kind, but for it simply fell flat, and it comes across as so dated that the flatness is only made worse, at least for me. The story of a gay white man growing up in the South in the 1960s. He gets involved in the civil rights struggle and comes out to himself, and later others, as gay. It's interesting territory, but I hated the art. It looks outright ugly to me, the characters are nearly impossible to distinguish from each other, and the framing is so cramped that it's nearly impossible to read, there's no white space, and there's so much cross-hatching...I felt my eyes start to hurt trying to read this. I don't feel like the art really added anything to this story--if anything, the difficulty of figuring out who was who made it harder. I started skimming about a third of the way through.
Stuck Rubber Baby is truly a novel told through the unique combination of words and pictures that makes the comics medium so fascinating. Its scope is astounding, its wide variety of characters memorable, and its events thought-provoking. AuszeichnungenBemerkenswerte Listen
