Her questions are both theoretical and identifiable. You feel like her friend even if you don’t actually know her, by the way she explains her feelings and experiences. Lucy’s writing and illustrations are conversational and personal. So she did what most people would do: use that as an excuse to take a stroll around Europe.įirst, she’d go to Bergen (Norway), then she’d go to Stockholm to visit a handsome potential fling, then she’d pop in on her friends’ honeymoon in Berlin, visit another friend in Beaune (France), her mom and mom’s friends in Royan (France) and then end the trip in Paris. Lucy, who was then living in NYC, found herself heartbroken, restless and invited to be a guest at a comic fair in Norway. Pretty soon, I could have a whole shelf that’s only filled with books by Lucy Knisley. The latest addition to my collection ( Relish, Make Yourself Happy, Radiator Days) is this year’s An Age of License, a travelogue from an up-in-the-air period of Lucy’s life when she decided to travel Europe. An Age of License by Lucy Knisley, Fantagraphic Books
