Items related to An Age Of License
Acclaimed cartoonist Lucy Knisley (French Milk, Relish) got an opportunity that most only dream of: a travel-expenses-paid trip to Europe/Scandinavia, thanks to a book tour. An Age of License is Knisley s comics travel memoir recounting her charming (and romantic!) adventures. It s punctuated by whimsical visual devices (such as a new experiences funnel); peppered with the cute cats she meets along the way; and, of course, features her hallmark drawings and descriptions of food that will make your mouth water. But it s not all kittens and raclette crepes: Knisley s experiences are colored by anxieties, introspective self-inquiries, and quotidian revelations about traveling alone in unfamiliar countries, and about her life and career that many young adults will relate to. An Age of License which takes its name from a French saying is an Eat, Pray, Love for the alternative comics fan."

Review:
Knisley is a good artist and entertaining storyteller, and her rather typical tale rises well above the mundane.--Richard Pachter
The cleverness here is how swiftly Knisley communicates everything... So much delivered so swiftly, so easily, Knisley's chronicles always steering clear of both the sickeningly saccharin sweet and the angst-ridden. It nestles quite naturally in between, as light and as serious, as sad and as funny as real life often is.--Richard Bruton
Knisley is a pleasurable picture-maker... and she engages directly with the issue of privilege as it pertains to her ability to take trips like this one.--Tom Spurgeon
An Age of License... has an immediacy to it that makes it... compelling.... Knisley composes each page carefully, leading the eye through a series of little moments that add up to a real story. ...[M]y guess is that she will simply continue to mature as an artist and writer. An Age of License is already evidence of that.--Brigid Alverson
