Ducks

[psocoptera]

Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands, Kate Beaton, 2022. Graphic memoir about working in the oil industry in Alberta and various aspects of life in the camps (rape culture, environmental harm, economic pressure). Interesting and powerful but also heavy stuff. Heads up for rape and sexual harassment. I found the scene where her sister tells her she was also raped particularly heartbreaking given that her sister died of cervical cancer. I mean, who knows, but oof. I hope a bunch of teenagers end up reading it in high school. Maus, Persepolis, Ducks.
