How I Tried To Be A Good Person

Overview

"This graphic memoir is about obsession, gender conflict, and self-liberation, told with an honesty few cartoonists are capable of. Lust's follow-up to her first internationally lauded graphic memoir, How I Tried to Be a Good Person, picks up directly where its predecessor left off. Revealing and powerful, Lust recounts her life as a young, enthusiastic anarchist making her way in Vienna in the 1990s - and of her love for two men: the ""perfect companion"" Georg, an actor twenty years her elder, and the ""perfect lover,"" Kimata, a Nigerian man-about-town. As her relationships with the two men evolve, jealousy increasingly mounts and leads to emotional and violent outbreaks that threaten her life. Two-color illustrations throughout."

Reviews

An intimate and imaginative follow-up graphic memoir to Lust's Ignatz award-winning punk travelogue. Lust's bluntly honest account grants us a look at a courageous but alarming life.


The very definition of a warts and all memoir, this is a complex and meaty read. A wonderful testament to the power of auto-bio graphic memoir. 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. Lust's energetic, searching book ... reveals the power of desire -- and the pain when jealousy rears its head. Lust's bluntly honest account grants us a look at a courageous but alarming life. An intimate and imaginative follow-up graphic memoir to Lust's Ignatz award-winning punk travelogue.
