Radiator Days Lucy Knisley 9780979882852 Books

I'm a big fan of Lucy Knisley's work so this was a must. Like others have said, I would not recommend this if you're just starting to check out her work and haven't yet picked up some of her other stuff like French Milk or Relish. But if you already like her style and are familiar with her work, this step back to her earlier days will please you. I thoroughly enjoyed it and saw the wide variety of pieces (some extremely short, others longer and more "serious") as a lot of fun.

Radiator Days Lucy Knisley 9780979882852 Books Reviews

Radiator Days reminds me of an anthology (it is a collection of Knisley's comics created during a two-year period). The book is predominantly a graphic memoir/autobiography, and showcases her unique comic/cartoon style as well as her storytelling abilities. I love her sense of humor, and the little moments of human connection and experience she captures with such insight. It was easy for me to relate to many of her stories (the hope, fear, hilarity, joy, strangeness, etc. that comes with living), and was often laughing out loud as I read this.

If you are not familiar with Knisley's work this is a good introduction, and also more diverse in content than French Milk (which was also awesome). If you read this after French Milk, you will hopefully enjoy her many adventures here in the U.S..

If you become a Lucy Knisley fan as I have, you might also enjoy her music (yes, people, she is a talented, folksy singer as well!). Her album Pretty/Nerdy

Lucy Knisley is one of my favorite young artists. She has a way of looking at the world and instantly making you feel like you're a part of the scenes that she depicts, even if you weren't there or really have no idea what's going on. She has the ability to quickly get to the heart of the matter and show warmth in humor, even if it's a low point in what she's showcasing. In this book Lucy shares with us short comics from a two year period, and in the dedication shares that many of them were drawn with a rather noisy radiator.

The short comics in this collection from over a two year period show Lucy trying out different methods of illustrating the stories and trying to find her own voice in storytelling. It's rather easy to pick out the stories that really stick with you, such as the one about the book store closing and the cashier sneakily giving away books to different people that would find them useful. Other stories show Lucy talking about growing up, going away to school (getting kicked out of school), heading off to college, and just attempting to figure out what to do in the world when she graduates. She makes it easy to relate to the world around her.

I look forward to seeing many more years of excellent work from Lucy and I'd recommend this book or any of her other works highly.
Since discovering _French Milk,_ her first graphic work, several years ago, I’ve become a solid fan of Lucy Knisley (“Nighsley,” silent “K”). She doesn’t do superheroes or abstract philosophy but concentrates almost entirely on retelling the events of her own life and experiences and what she’s learned from them. She’s had the sort of adventures any of us might have had, but she thinks a lot harder about what they mean. This volume, her second, is rather different. After high school (four schools in four years -- the subject of an upcoming book), she went back to Chicago to the Art Institute for her BFA. She meant to study painting but she ended up doing comics and these mostly short visual essays tell the story of her widely varied experiences, from “hourly journal” assignments to quirky ruminations on her friends and classmates, and also on the city itself. It’s an interesting read because she was just beginning to figure things out and so her style changes almost from one page to the next.

The longest piece, “Bookshop Three Days to Closing,” is also possibly the best -- and not autobiographical. (I don’t think.) Other highlights include “The Drama King,” about the only fight she was ever in -- against a boy. (And she won, sort of.) Immediately after the Art Institute, she went off to do a graduate degree at the Center for Cartoon Studies in Vermont, a very small and isolated school, which led to cabin fever, which led to an expedition to the nearest outlet mall. “Un-Learning Curve” takes you through that adventure and has some good points to make. And then there’s the unnamed story about being stuck in an elevator with a nice boy and an impossible older sister on the way to have wedding photos made. Very nice. And I especially like “Boys’ Dorm,” about a reverse panty raid in a co-ed private school.

This probably isn’t the best book to start with, but if you’re already familiar with Lucy’s award-winning work, it’s a great way to find out where she came from and how she got there. And it will bring back memories for anyone who has slogged through art school.
I really liked this book it was really funny and has some adorable drawings definietly woth checking out
I bought this book after "French Milk" and I love it ! While French Milk solely documented on Lucy's trip to Paris, Radiator Days is way more random. It's like whatever pops in that genius little head of Lucy, she draw it immediately. Can't wait for her next book Relish.
I've read other books by Lucy and loved them. I can't wait to get to this gem! Highly recommend this author.
