Snotgirl #1 and Portrait of a Thief

Beata talks about Snotgirl Issue #1 and Portrait of a Thief by Grace D. Li this episode. I really enjoyed one and uhhh did not love another. 

Snotgirl is written by Bryan Lee O’Malley, who also wrote Scott Pilgrim, and illustrated by Leslie Hung. It follows 25-year-old fashion blogger, Lottie Person, as she recovers from a bad breakup and is beginning to face the fact that she’s lonely and has no friends. A chance encounter with a woman one day changes her life as her night out with her new friend, nicknamed Coolgirl, takes a strange turn.

Ocean’s Eleven meets The Farewell in Portrait of a Thief, a lush, lyrical heist novel inspired by the true story of Chinese art vanishing from Western museums, about diaspora, the colonization of art, and the complexity of the Chinese American identity.

“Do the right thing : Mainstream Museums and Galleries need to end their racist and elitist practices and become genuinely inclusive institutions, argues Carlos Tortolero”: https://icaa.mfah.org/s/en/item/867636#?c=&m=&s=&cv=&xywh=-2001%2C-206%2C6551%2C3666
