William Bradley, Graphic Memoirs Come of Age

In William Bradley’s “Graphic Memoirs come of Age”, he focuses on giving his take upon certain graphic novels. In a way, it seems to me that Bradley is more than just sharing his opinions, he is showing his adoration for certain graphic novelists and their work. For example, Bradley focuses a lot on Beschdel’s Fun Home in comparison to another one of her works Are you my Mother? Bradley then discusses the differences between both these works, and ultimately gives us his take on which one is better. Other than graphic novelists such as Beschdel, Bradley also gives us his take on another graphic novelist; Dorkin. Once again, Bradley goes into Evan Dorkin’s AutoBioHazard and how Dorkin chronicled his depression and anxiety into one of the best works of his career. This adds on to how Bradley seem to show adoration for these artists and their works. Bradley gives me conclusion that tells me he is not only an essayist, but also big fan of graphic novels.
