Stanford students try writing a graphic novel
This article, posted in the San Francisco Gate, explores the emerging college focus on graphic novels. Highlighted in the article is the (free, online) grapic novel from a collaboration at Stanford Universtiy. After reading the novel, I can say that it was powerful. The message is heartwrenching and heartwarming all at the same time. It follows a young woman who is influenced and wrapped up in a love affair with a married man and punished by his wife with acid. At times, the drawing is very Japanaime and at others, very sketchy and primitive. This is an excellent collaboration although it may not be appropriate for high school students.

I must admit that I have not read the novel you posted about. I don't think I could handle it but I have read some graphic novels. I love them. I was upset when the librarian at my school said she did not like them. I think the kids will love them but I respect her discussion. Thanks for bring in the graphic novel to the blog.
