I read "The Summer of Love" straight after the disturbing autobiographical "Daddy's Girl" by the same author, which features the same characters when they were younger. Whereas "Daddy's Girl" depicts the tragic abuse Lily had to suffer on the hands of her father, none of it is present in "The Summer of Love", which concentrates on the more classic foes of coming of age in suburban America. Sadly, it is also a road much traveled in contemporary graphic fiction, and Debbie Drechsler's slightly caricatural style does not match the finesse of other authors such as Craig Thomson or Alison Bechdel. What's more, the brownish-greenish color scheme used here is reminiscent of those blue-red 3D images when read without the appropriate colored glasses and are tiresome in the long run. Pas mal de bandes dessinées me semblent n'avoir de cesse de réinventer l'adolescence (peut-être car le "neuvième art" fut longtemps considéré comme un loisir adolescent...). Ce livre-là ne fait pas exception : un déménagement et un été durant lequel il s'agit de se faire de nouveaux amis, et voici la narratrice empêtrée dans les émois du "teenager". Éveil de la sexualité (et découverte de l'homosexualité de sa soeur), apprentissage de la vie sociale et, au final, acceptation de sa non-liberté et de son ancrage au sein de cette ville qu'elle dit détester. Tout cela est montré de façon assez originale, dans une bichromie marron-vert mettant paradoxalement en valeur la finesse et l'ambiguïté de ce qui se joue ici. Vraiment un bon moment. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Widely acknowledged as one of the great female cartoonists for her expressive and candid style, Drechsler's GN is an achingly true portrait of life as a girl. Lili and her sister Pearl encounter all the triumphs and cruelties of teenage life when they move to a boring suburb and they search for new friends. Drechsler's style is always arresting and surprisingly revealing. Her dialogue rings out with the subtlety and candor of teenage voices raised in anger, mockery and joy.

There's Lili and Pearl. Pearl seems to adapt to the new situation but Lili just doesn't fit in. She has a crush on a boy but he's not interested. She misses her friends. She doesn't like the new house. She's bored. Her sister has a, GASP, girlfriend.
Boohoo. It's so hard being a white upper middle class Baby Boomer. Cry me a river. ( )
