Praise for Anne Frank's Diary: The Graphic Adaptation
'A stunning, haunting work of art . . . The comedy of the diary - one of the book's most charming and often overlooked aspects - shines in this form' New York Times Book Review
'Faithful to the spirit and often the language of the diary . . . the beautiful artwork offers a charming and convincing view of Anne on the page' Economist
'A modern classic' The Times
Fervent, heartfelt and visually wonderful
—— Peter Bradshaw , GuardianSuperb . . . Weaves together excerpts from the diary with the quest of Kitty - the imaginary friend to whom Anne addressed much of it - to locate the young writer in present-day Amsterdam
—— Wendy Ide , Observer...fanciful tale that extends Anne’s legacy to the contemporary refugee crisis in Europe and is carried off with graceful drawings by Israeli artist Guberman
—— Publishers WeeklyA masterpiece, a heartbreak, a nightlight shining in the dark.
—— Patricia Lockwood, author of No One Is Talking About ThisDevastating. Despite the brutal toll Beaton suffered personally, she has woven from her experience a vast and complex tapestry that captures the humanity of people doing a kind of "dirty work" in which we are all complicit, and it shimmers with grace.
—— Alison Bechdel, author of Fun HomeEngrossing and powerful.
—— GuardianAn exceptionally beautiful book about loneliness, labor, and survival. Beaton is a thoughtful guide through a complex landscape of class and gender, and these pages ache with grief and grace.
—— Carmen Maria Machado, author of In the Dream HouseKate Beaton's comics are rich with quiet revelations, intimate details, and a deadpan, devastating sense of humor. A generous and illuminating book; I suspect it will stay on my mind for a very long time.
—— Anna Wiener, author of Uncanny ValleyDucks is an unforgettable, riveting work. Kate Beaton opens the mind's eye, allowing us to inhabit landscapes and experiences crucial to our time, yet largely unseen. Artful, considered and courageous, Ducks is a landmark work.
—— Madeleine Thien, author of Do Not Say We Have NothingDucks delivers an immersive, harrowing journey through an industry where the lure of fast money belies darker realities of casual brutality, profound loneliness and soul-cracking isolation. The uneasy echoes of Beaton's story ring well past the the final page. Shattering.
—— Jessica Bruder, author of Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First CenturyHonest, compassionate, and clear-eyed, Ducks is a stunning achievement in storytelling that I will be thinking about for a long time.
—— Jung Yun, author of O BeautifulEngrossing.
—— Irish ExaminerDucks moves into dark territory - including sexual assault - but Beaton... balances light and shade. No place or person is wholly good or bad, not even the oil sands with their dark satanic drills.
