Best one liner of the day

Ay mula sa Comicbookslut:

"But just because you were born and you experienced childhood and young adulthood does not mean you have a story to tell."

Jeff Vandermeer opened his review with this because lately, there's a lot of (semi-)autobiographical comics coming out. In general naman, maraming naglalabasang memoir. Lumaki ka sa Sahara? Gawan ng memoir! Nag-roadtrek ka across America? Magsulat ka ng memoir! Umabot na sa puntong nabahing lang, nag-memoir na. Which is not to undermine the memoir o nonfiction in general kasi paborito ko ring magbasa ng mga ganito.

Ito ang kasunod ng sinabi ni Vandermeer:

"If you can't master the fine art of dreaming well, of allowing the imagination to take at least 50 percent of the burden of creation... well, don't expect a uniformly good reaction..."

Tama naman siya. Sarap lang hiramin ng komento niya pag nagworkshop na. Hehehe.
