Diary of a Teenage Girl

Gloeckner incorporates the diary she kept as a teenager in this new illustrated novel. Her character Minnie has been described as 'funny, possessing an intellect at once worldly and incredibly naive, full of sexual energy and emotionally immature.' The lively writing has been compared to that of a young William Burroughs or perhaps 'Bukowski trapped in a young girl's body.' Many rich illustrations add a dizzying dimension to the tale.
