Gadon is a vivid onscreen presence, but we never approach the complexity of Pauline’s inner life, or her obvious trauma. Sarah Gadon plays the Hearst stand-in, called Pauline, who seems both defiant and tentative, smoking all day, spouting anti-capitalist rhetoric, yet timid. An expert at laying low, she is asked by a contact to move in with some members of the underground as their link to the outside world, getting them groceries, helping them write a book.Īrriving at a remote rented house in upstate New York, Jenny meets her charges, who have escaped the police shootout that killed the rest of their group. And she is on the run after having bombed a draft center, a crime for which her boyfriend is in prison. Miss Dolly calls her an “Oriental girl” and she repeatedly has to remind people that she was born in California. ![]() ![]() Jenny, who is Asian-American, has her own issues with society. And in just a few scenes as Miss Dolly, Ellen Burstyn creates a character capable of surprising us. Throughout the story, Chau is extremely good at capturing the tension, fear and questioning behind Jenny’s calm facade. The story truly begins with her living in a large old house working for Miss Dolly, an entitled, rich old woman. Most of the pic is a long flashback framed by unnecessary scenes of Jenny in prison, being questioned by an FBI agent. ![]() ![]() ![]() She has had 3 awards, one at the World Trade Centre where she received a standing ovation from her American fans, who had come from many states just to meet her.

What I love about this book is how it unabashedly takes aim at toxic relationships, yet isn’t too preachy. While reading graphic novels, I can sometimes get sucked into the dialogue and the story, forgetting to appreciate the artwork, but this one had multiple pages that caused me to stop and stare at their intricacy and beauty. The artwork is in grayscale, except for the addition of a peachy pink colour that makes every page pop. ![]() Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me is well-written and beautifully drawn.

I live not far from Kurnell in Sydney and often visit and wonder at the sight of the Endeavour coming into the inlet and sitting out there on the water while the Natives stood by and tried to shoo them away but to no avail.
