Sinossi
Voi non sapete chi sia Zoe Thorogood, ma tempo la lettura di questo volume e la considererete un'amica, per la cui serenità tifare, dei cui demoni preoccuparvi. Inglese, giovanissima, Zoe aveva già realizzato un fumetto notevole, "Gli ultimi giorni di luce di Billie Scott". Con "Tutta sola al centro della terra" realizza una storia autobiografica in cui una profonda consapevolezza di sé non basta ad arginare la condizione di depressione con tendenze suicide che accompagna l'autrice fin dall'adolescenza. Con l'intento di raccontare sei mesi della propria vita di artista, Zoe esplora la propria condizione interiore, cercando di costruire percorsi per sé e argini interiori per i lettori. Un libro importante, di rarissima franchezza. Un fumetto coraggioso, che ti porta nelle tenebre per insegnarti a riconoscere la luce in fondo al tunnel. (E non è detto che sia un treno, o almeno che non sia un treno sul quale non puoi salire).

‘ Maybe I’d be dead if not for this. But instead I’m going to make something that didn’t exist before. And I think that’s beautiful. ’ What is the purpose of art?

This is the most emo, self-absorbed, pretentious piece of crap I've read in a while. If you consider yourself a misunderstood emo kid, this will knock your socks off. If you're looking for logical progression or just any kind of meaningful story in general, this is not for you, my friends. There is ba Leggi tutto
I've read a lot of comics (and other) memoirs lately about depression, but none quite as lively and inventive as this. Faced with the knowledge that there are many such stories out there, and feeling self-conscious about her adding yet another one to the pile, she nevertheless sallies forth. But ove Leggi tutto
I read this after hearing of Thorogood's struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts. My sister struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts for many years. I thought I might learn something. I thought I would relate. But I didn't. The artwork was excellent when it wasn't all bubble-headed ch Leggi tutto
What.
It's sad that in 21. century we are afraid to talk about mental issues. The reason for it has to do with the fact that most of those talks end up with some shitty phrase of „support“ such as „think positive“, „you can do it“, „there is nothing wrong with you“ from those you think of as friends. Yet, Leggi tutto
A sad, young woman gets all dreary in this meta memoir about depression. But the art is sharp as hell and the humor isn't far behind when it comes around in the funk. A mixed bag, for sure, with all its numerous and sometimes annoying affectations, but engaging and worthy of attention.
I think this book accomplished its purpose of documenting Thorogood’s life as she tried to get her shit together. But I’m not sure what the audience was supposed to take away except …relatability. I certainly connected with many of her anecdotes, but when I finished reading I felt like it didn’t act Leggi tutto
