Note: I read these in 2019, not necessarily published in 2019.
Wave by Sonali Deraniyagala — Memoir of a woman who lost her children, husband, and parents in a tsunami. A gripping account of immeasurable loss.
Fun Home by Alison Bechdel — Comic-book memoir of a woman growing up in a funeral home, her closeted father and his mysterious death, and her own homosexuality. It looks like I didn’t write a review for this one.
Persepolis Series by Marjane Strapi — Comic-book memoir of a woman coming of age in Iran around the time of the Islamic Revolution, and then going abroad to study and live. It was very difficult for me to understand the political context and history, but I mostly cared about her personal story and that was the focus anyway. Also looks like I didn’t write a review. Comics are hard to review.
Tomorrow 3.0 by Michael Munger — Convincing speculation about how smartphone technology will lead to the “Uberization” of many products and services, and the downstream effects of a transition to a sharing economy.
I’m also close to finishing My Struggle Book One by Karl Ove Knausggard, and I like it a lot. Will plan to write a review.
