About the Author:
Ulli Lust was born in 1967 in Vienna, Austria. She lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
Review:
“An intimate and imaginative follow-up graphic memoir to Lust's Ignatz award–winning punk travelogue.”
- Publishers Weekly
“Lust’s energetic, searching book ... reveals the power of desire ― and the pain when jealousy rears its head.”
- The Guardian
“Lust’s bluntly honest account grants us a look at a courageous but alarming life.”
- Booklist
“A wonderful testament to the power of auto-bio graphic memoir.”
- Comics Grinder
“Lust is determined to live her truth, even occasionally putting herself in physical danger. At other times, she’s left contemplating the line between self-actualization and selfishness. Lust relates all this in an uncompromisingly frank manner, with anthropological detail. It’s a rich narrative.”
