“Did you know? Have you heard? Did you hear? Did you know?” [Let’s explain everything that’s happening one more time for the new character that was just introduced!]

How many times can this graphic novel introduce a new character that doesn’t know what’s going on so that one of the main characters can explain everything you the reader already know? Did you know CPS banned Persepolis? I bet you didn’t, halfway through this book, so let’s have a character go over it again!

"You have already seen your future and there was nothing in it but your own mind."

"As if you could escape yourself...
Nobody gets it. Go home. Spring is chronic. The mind is chronic."

"But nothing lives by always dying."

"You cling so tightly to this world. It is the reason your mind obsesses over leaving it. The more you meditate on death, the more you are protected from it."

"Was Alice building, for more than a decade, whether she knew it or not, one long deconstructed suicide note?"

“You often dreamed of a guilt so grave you fell to your knees in the garden”
