Displacement

New York Times best-selling cartoonist Lucy Knisley paints a stark portrait of contemporary, twenty-something womanhood. In this next installment of her graphic memoir series, Knisley accompanies her ailing grandparents on a cruise. Part memoir, part travelogue and part family history, Knisley tries to connect with her grandparents and also, by using her grandfather's WWII memoir, reconcile their younger and older selves. Readers will identify with Knisley's frustration and her attempts to come to terms with mortality, as she copes with the stress of travel complicated by her grandparents' frailty.
