Glenn Head details his sexual molestation by the headmaster of a private boarding school in New Jersey in the 1970s and examines how the trauma echoed through his life for decades after. He writes and illustrates in a style influenced by underground comics of the era, so there is a lot of nudity and the abuse is sometimes graphically depicted. He portrays himself in a warts and all manner, exposing his faults and failures as much as those around him. Head does keep the focus on himself though and that strict perspective leaves the scope and eventual fallout when the abuse becomes public a bit vague, limited to a few newspaper clippings and short visits with a couple of his fellow classmates years later. But then this isn't a history, it's a personal journey, one that is long, sad, and depressing. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"Veteran alternative cartoonist Glenn Head's harrowing graphic memoir is about years of sexual and emotional abuse suffered at a boarding school during his adolescence, and the resultant trauma that took him almost 50 years to process before being able to tell his story publicly. No one asks for the childhood they get, and no child ever deserved to go to Chartwell Manor. For Glenn Head, his two years spent at the now-defunct Mendham, NJ, boarding school -- run by a serial sexual and emotional abuser of young boys in the early 1970s -- left emotional scars in ways that he continues to process. This graphic memoir -- a book almost 50 years in the making -- tells the story of that experience, and then delves with even greater detail into the reverberations of that experience in adulthood, including addiction and other self-destructive behavior. Head tells his story with unsparing honesty, depicting himself as a deeply flawed human struggling to make sense of the childhood he was given."--Publisher's website.
