Set in 1970s In-ger-lund, two teenagers - Vic, the confident, handsome ladies’ man, and Enn, his awkward, inexperienced friend and our narrator - go in search of a house party and find one. But is it the right one? And who are all these strange girls?
Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba continue the trend of adapting Neil Gaiman short stories with How to Talk to Girls at Parties from his Fragile Things collection. And I can see why publishers continue to do this when the results are so good!
I won’t give away the twists in the story but if you’re unfamiliar with it, it’s not what you think it is. It sort of is in one sense and totally not in another. The ambiguity might bother some readers but I liked it - you could interpret it as a clever, realistic way of how boys and girls interact as teens, or you could believe the fantastical direction Gaiman takes it, but the truthful nuggets Gaiman sprinkles throughout are what makes this work. I’m sure I’m not the only one who read this who could relate to Enn!
The story has an eerie, bittersweet aftertaste to it which makes me wonder why it has that. Is it pure nostalgia and sentiment on behalf of the narrator who’s now a lot older - or has something happened since to this world… Either way, Gaiman once again proves the best medium he writes in is the short story.
Brazilian twin brothers Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba’s artwork is wonderfully vibrant. They are the best artists I’ve seen at capturing the spirit of dancing on the page and I really enjoyed the watercolours throughout.
As you’d expect given the source material, it’s a really short read - basically two issues long - but otherwise How to Talk to Girls at Parties is a great comic that explores and depicts teen courtship in a unique, poetic and imaginative way.

I didn't know what to expect from this other than I'd heard it's...different. Different is right, but I'm still not entirely sure how to feel about it. I wanted there to be more depth - more purpose to it. I understand that there's only so much you can convey, but it felt over and done with so quickly that I caught myself wondering if I'd missed something. Just not for me.
The art itself makes it almost worth reading alone.

When two young men go to a party, the young women there are so much more than what they expected.
This short story by Neil Gaiman, adopted in a graphic novel format, perfectly captures (in a science fiction-tinged bubble) the bewilderment that goes along with communication and young adulthood.
Sometimes, when you're trying to chat up members of the opposite sex, it's as if you're talking to someone alien from yourself or even just the idea of a person. Gaiman takes this concept and, in typical Gaiman-fashion, runs with it.
He is even able to touch upon the darker side of young, romantic flings. The popular young man in the story gets all the female attention he could want, but at what cost to both him and the young women he leaves behind?
The other young man, referenced in the title because he is hesitant to "talk to girls at parties", is the one who the narrative follows. His adventure into the worlds of the mind is certainly as wild as his friend's experience.
This is a quick read, only 10 or 15 minutes, but I found it stuck with me. I was wondering at the layers of meaning in it.
The artwork is beautiful but strange. The women's eyes are drawn slightly too large for normalcy. It set me on edge and made most of the story unsettling, which I suppose is also the point of the thing.
The story made me think about how much of our relationships take place because we're brave enough to face that unsettling feeling. And by experiencing "the other", we come back home a new person than who we were when we left. Maybe not a better person, but different.
Recommended for teens or adults who enjoy science fiction. I think anybody who has faced down their own fears to talk to someone they find enchanting will find something to ponder in this graphic novel.

That first party when you try to talk to girls - but everything you say sounds so stupid - wonderful book that is sheer poetic insight into growing up. I was so shy that I would play 'tough guy' and just hang out with my friends - really stupid thing to do looking back on it now. Wish I could go back in time and kick my own butt!

Brothers Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba adapt Neil Gaiman's short story. Two friends show up at the wrong party and try to pick up girls who are visiting London from much further away than they expect. If you like Neil Gaiman, you'll enjoy this as well.
September 24, 2016
Based on a short story by Neil Gaiman from Fragile Things with artwork by Fabio Moon and Gabriel Bá (Daytripper), this tale concerns 16 year old Enn--who doesn't know how to talk to girls--and his possibly slightly older friend Vic, who seems to be a bit more confident--physically, at least. They crash a party where there appears to be all girls, all lovely, drawn by two guys that like to draw lovely girls all the time, and they are seductive, sirens.
The first part of the joke is that when Enn talks to girls, he doesn't understand them at all, they seem to be from other planets, they're fantastical. The literally seem to speak another language, or at least, a poetic one. Men are from Mars, women are from Venus? Maybe!
One girl who talks to Enn is Triolet, who says she actually is a poem. "You cannot hear a poem without it changing you," she says, which in this case proves to be true for Triolet's effect on Enn. Triolet's meditation on poetry is the highlight of the tale, of which she says, "Where does contagion end and art begin?" This is Gaiman's view of art and horror, but it is her his view of poetic language, which is dangerous and beautiful and seductive.
En comes to realize: "You can tell it's poetry, even if you don't speak the language. You can hear Homer's Greek without understanding a word, and you still know it's poetry."
So when Triolet speaks it is poetry, it is "beneath every syllable, the relentless advance of the ocean."
Maybe for Gaiman, this is what girls are? Poetry? That's the happy part of the joke, the first moral of the story.
The second part of the joke, the second moral, is darker, that the lovely, ethereal girls seem to be . . . if not actually evil, well, disturbing. So the boys leave the party, at a dead run, Stella is staring hard at Vic, a fiery anger, and they agree that they--neither of our hapless anti-heroes--really "get" girls. As Vic vomits in the street, he has either been drunk and/or deeply disturbed by what he has experienced with Stella.
I have heard (and not really seen) that some of Gaiman's work reveals a darker view of women, they're less human than men, somehow. Is this one of those stories? Why is Stella so angry at Vic? What did he find in her or what did he do to make her mad? Since the guys feel they have to escape this girl world, are these girls poetry and contagion alike? Or is this a point confirming that girls really are really really inscrutable for boys?
Still, since I am not sure of the answers to my questions, I have to say the artwork is wonderful, and the story is intriguing and worthy of discussion. I would check this out and discuss, here, please.

This was weird. I didn't get it. Must be written for the smarter, more conceptual, more metaphysical minded. I really wanted to know what the H Vic was talking about and what happened with Stella upstairs that made her look like what an angry universe would look like if it were shining thru eyes. For a second I thought he was saying that Stella wasn't a woman. Then I realized I had no idea what the hell was going on. 2/3's of the story is basically nonsensical gibberish coming out of the mouths of pretty wide eyed girl cartoons, not exactly easy to follow, & the art work was a little dopey, a lil too cartoonish, but it was colorful and cute, and being that it only took me about 10 mins to read, it wasn't much time lost.
It does seem like Gaiman was cashing in a bit on his name, a name that makes people make blind purchases, just because his name is attached to it. It's what I did! Having already read a few of his other books, I should have known better than to expect a straight forward storyline or anything other than some far out whimsical bits. 2 stars for the illustrations.

This story is lifted from Gaiman's Fragile Things collection. My view may be a minority report.
The story is, itself, a "fragile thing." We are told this tale by Enn, a mid-teen who has yet to figure out much about girls except that he is interested. His friend, Vic seems to be way ahead of him. Vic wants to go to a party where there will be lots of girls and he drags Enn with him. The party Vic finds is not the party he was looking for. And the girls are also different.
It takes them the length of the story to realize just how different.
For me, it wasn't anything special. The story lacked enough "Gaiman" and the illustrations were just fine, but you will have seen far better efforts. Meh.

Having read the original short story years ago and remembering that it was pretty strange, I was pleasantly surprised to discover it had been adapted into a graphic novel. So, of course, I had to get it. And devour it...which I did.
How to Talk to Girls at Parties is based in 1970s England and concerns two teenagers - Vic, who is a real ladies' man, and Enn who is awkward and shy and has no luck with the opposite sex, as they make their way to a party. Right from the beginning, it is easy to see the difference between Vic and Enn - their dialogue really illustrates this since Vic oozes confidence, charm and swagger while Enn walks behind his friend and generally seems less confident and even a bit scared when faced with the prospect of meeting and talking to girls.
I have never come across Moon or Ba's artwork before but it is wonderful and bloody colourful which I love! I think their style perfectly captures the otherworldly overtones to the story and the depiction of Triolet is stunning.
I'm not going to say anything specific about the story because it is a strange and unusual read and the poetic language is simply beautiful.
I will say though that the ending was very poignant and leaves the reader with a very altered perception of Vic.
Definitely recommend to those who love stories a bit weird and fantastical.

How to Talk to Girls at Parties is a Locus award-winning short story by Neil Gaiman (also nominated for the Hugo Award), now treated to the artistic stylings of Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon, known for such graphic novels as Daytripper. I can't think of a better pairing, and the art really brings out the freaky elements from the story that can almost be missed if one reads too quickly.
More please!

Another excellent Gaiman graphic novel, with a nice amusing twist in what at first appears to be an ordinary story of teenage boys at a party trying to talk to girls.
June 22, 2022
How do you talk to girls at parties when the girls 1. talk absolute nonsense and 2. may not even be girls at all? If you ever find yourself asking that question then fear on because this graphic novel does not have the answers you seek!
This was one of the oddest graphic novels I've read. The narration was great but the dialogue was awful, convoluted mumbo-jumbo. The plot was intriguing but cut short before it could get anywhere remotely close to the point of the whole thing. I think somewhere within it all there was a message about the beauty of the world or something, although that may be a bit of a stretch. Really it just seemed like they were all high and this was some kind of absurd acid trip.

With the first girl the teenage male narrator talks to at a party, my expectations were thwarted, taking me somewhere I didn’t expect to go. By the second girl, I’d figured it out, though the story can be read two ways, unless the very end, still ambiguous, makes you think differently. It all made a kind of perfect sense.
I certainly agree with the narrator that it’s hard to tell how old girls that are supposedly his age really are. It was fun for me that Gaiman, a year older than I am, seems to have the same taste in music I do.

The art in this is beautiful. Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba have been 2 of my favourite artists for a while now. I always try to check out whatever they put out. And they know how to draw some nice looking women.
But it's a very short read. Which is why it's getting 3 stars. It's good but there doesn't seem much to it. I think it was a short story originally?
2 teenage boys head to a party to hook up with girls. Only...things aren't quite what they seem? The title also isn't so literal.
Still, you could take longer to appreciate the art and take it all in.

Neil Gaiman is just not for me. I feel like his stories fly over my head. The draw for me her was Fabio Moon and Gabriel Bá, the illustrators. They made this story more captivating for me than had I read the actual book.
This was strange. Perhaps a perspective on the theme "women are from Venus, men are from Mars". Goes to show how men will never fully understand what women are about. That was my take on this.

I must confess I have yet to read the original short story. To be fair, I should go on some kind of Neil Gaiman retreat because we have only just met and I have a feeling we have quite a lot to talk about.
The book itself is absolutely stunning, the vibrant colors creating an atmosphere that seems to whisper of dreams, of magic. I wonder if Enn is still waiting to wake up, still expecting to fall out of his bed and find the world to have remained just the same.
Peculiarity at its best, at its most captivating, in what can perhaps be called a coming of age short story. Nothing is ever what it seems, or just what it seems, when it comes to Neil Gaiman.

This was a tasty little morsel with some out of the this world art work that perfectly captures just how "alien" young women can seem to young men. Adapted from a story that appeared in Gaiman's short story collection Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders this clever, spooky little meditation on teenage hormone's and navigating the murky water of young love (or at least young lust) gives readers little more than a sip of a story of two young men, one the blond, broad shouldered popular jock and his friend the gangly, awkward "every man" turning up at a party with a bunch of strange young women who give a new definition to the term "exchange students."
The story is really just one long play on a meet cute between two teens who don't know how to go about getting to the point where they're making out and they don't have to talk anymore. Its light and just a little scary, a super quick read with lovely, light filled illustrations balanced by the deep dark night outside the party in London's empty, lonely streets. There's no time for much substance but Gaiman's prose manages to pack in a helluva lot of lonliness and teenage angst regardless.
Word on the street is this is on the road to being released as a "comedy" starring Elle Fanning so I'm certainly curious to see how it gets expanded. For now this is a very faithful, beautiful to look at adaptation of a quirky, lovely little tale.

For lovers of Neil Gaiman, I don't have to say anything more than this is an adoption of a short story of his done by the pair of brother artist from Brazil. That should be enough to at least get your curious.
Ah, Neil, he writes as though he is speaking, telling you this tale from the 1980s, of two boys, 15 or 16, who go to a party, but it is not the party they thought it was, and although the girls are cute, they are not what they seem.
And like good short stories ,that is really all you need to know about it.
Great art. Beautiful words. Go find it, read it. If you want a book of Neil, go pick up "Fragile Things" where this short story came from. But really, you should just get this book, as well.
