Synopses & Reviews
"I don't remember being born. I was a very ugly child. My appearance has not improved so I suppose it was a lucky break when he was attracted to my youthfulness." So begins the story of Minnie Glover in Diary of a Teenage Girl. Fifteen-year-old Minnie is plagued by a narcissistic mother, a string of sleazy stepfathers, and her own budding sexuality. More than a simple diary, this acclaimed cartoonist's semi-autobiographical story of her coming of age in San Francisco in the 1970s artfully switches gears between narrative and a visual chronicle of survival in an incomprehensible world.
