I’d been wanting to become acquainted with Haruki Murakami novels for a while - 1Q84, Kafka On the Shore - and it happened that my library had a copy of Norwegian Wood. I don’t usually read books like Norwegian Wood. The scenery was the last thing on my mind.” It was the age, that time of life when every sight, every feeling, every thought came back, like a boomerang, to me. I was thinking about the two of us together, and then about myself again. I was thinking about the beautiful girl walking next to me. I didn’t give a damn about the scenery that day. I never stopped to think of it as something that would make a lasting impression, certainly never imagined that eighteen years later I would recall it in such detail. When I was in the scene, I hardly paid it any mind. ![]() ![]() ![]() She left her hometown to escape the reality of her nightmare, and has moved into a new city.

![]() Sometimes you had a row of comics about a certain topic, and then it jumped to another topic. So there were a couple of chapters where there was hardly any talk about asexuality, which was a pity.Īnother pity about How To Be Ace is that it read kind of jumpy. You get promised a personal story about asexuality, but it was more the authors personal life story, with the focus on asexuality. That was definitely a bonus point for this graphic novel.Ī less good point for How To Be Ace is that it doesn’t really give you what it promises. ![]() It is lovely to see that, even though it’s such a personal memoir, it still shines a light on different experiences with asexuality. However, asuxuality is a very personal experience, everyone experiences it in a different way.

Since this is a review for a, rather short, graphic novel, this won’t be a long blog post. From school to work to relationships, this book offers an unparalleled insight into asexuality. Brave, witty and empowering, this graphic memoir follows Rebecca as she navigates her asexual identity and mental health in a world obsessed with sex. ![]() |
