I'm glad that you're reading this book. There are several graphic novels that play with the fiction/nonfiction barrier, and this one sounds like a great one. Have you read Penelopiad (I think is the spelling and name)--about a young girl living in Iran before and after she had to wear the veil? It gets rather graphic (other sense of the word) at time, but it's a powerful force.
