Snapshots of a Girl

In this fresh, often funny autobiographicalgraphic novel, Beldan Sezen depicts her coming of age, and her coming out aslesbian, in both western and Islamic cultures (as the daughter of Turkishimmigrants in western Europe)tofriends, family, and herself. Through a series of charming, self-deprecatingvignettes that take place in North America, Germany, the Netherlands, andTurkey, she navigates the messy conflicts of her life, dealing with familyissues, bad dates, sexual politics, and self-doubt with the honesty, humour and spunk of a young woman simplylooking for happiness around her. Imbued with the candor of Alison Bechdel andthe quirk of Lynda Barry, Snapshots of a Girl is a thoroughly modern, popculture-infused take ondyke life and cultural identity.
