Overview

"Inspired by the likes of Alison Bechdel and Marjane Satrapi, 'The Breadcrumb' takes your everyday coming-of-age and turns it inside out. The author sets out on what she openly admits is a futile endeavour: to preserve an idealistic adolescent mind that is on the brink of adulthood. As she awaits this fate, she rushes to take a lasting snapshot of the mind as if it were a finite world with physical boundaries. And in this picture you can see her simultaneously assuming all the roles within this world - protagonist, antagonist, friend, parent, therapist and omniscient narrator - producing a frenzied mono-act to whom she herself is also the audience. 'The Breadcrumb' is essentially one long therapy session between the author and her various selves as they try to crack the ever-elusive formula to ""adulting"" before time runs out. Amidst conversations both real and imaginary, (but mostly imaginary), the author questions the world and its inhabitants for their hypocrisies while at the same time asking herself a harder question: what makes her any different? In her obsessive and neurotic attempts to protect her inner adolescent from the jaded world and keep it alive beyond its stipulated lifetime, the book whimsically reveals some of the core preoccupations that define the 21st century millennial mind - an irrational fear of change, a near constant state of delusion, raging misanthropy and incurably self-righteous narcissism."
