She approaches the “industrial marriage complex” from the wide angle of society, but manages to inflect her exploration with her own personal experiences.īoth Kate and Corey read Something New this summer and, while they both love Lucy Knisley’s work but have fairly different perspectives on weddings, they decided to have a chat about it.Ĭorey: Weddings are such a personal topic - people seem to get anxious even when talking about hypothetical, future weddings - so I hope we’re still friends after this.

From her very first one ( French Milk), she has illuminated each phase of her life with watercolor, grace, and humor. ![]() Lucy Knisley is known for her confessional, thoughtful, and fearless graphic novels. ![]()
