Calling Dr. Laura

The art is lovely, the physical book is really well-crafted, and this is a heartfelt memoir. I wanted a bit more narrative structure, and (even) more introspection, but I often want that more than most folks who like memoir. This book is worth the price of admission for one thing alone: The portrayal of a pet chicken. She nails the sounds chickens actually make (hint: it's not bawk bawk).

There's also a lot here about love and friendship, and being queer–I find myself looking forward to her next book, but won't likely read this one again.
