Reviews
Maureen Burdock's artwork is beautiful; you just wish to touch and hold those snails. Yes, one must dig deep to forgive distant parents and live with one's history. But also to know and accept love. -Miriam Katin, author of We Are On Our Own and Letting It Go Maureen Burdock has produced a riveting graphic memoir that lays lush colors into subtle, grey-washed landscapes and contains both deeply considered essay writing and sharp dialogue. Queen of Snails uses surrealist imagery to illuminate an often-gritty narrative of a childhood struggling to understand itself amidst generational trauma and generational wisdom. Burdock brings us on an emotionally expansive journey as she searches for the elusive idea of home. -Justin Hall, editor of No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics
