I was also working on a television show, Pinecone & Pony, which came out on Apple this year, so there were different things going on.

It’s very difficult to take your personal story and make cuts when you’re so in the thick of it, to do what’s best for a book as opposed to the thing that you maybe care about the most. I wanted to be with people who know books. I came to Drawn & Quarterly because I believe in the partnership between editors and writers. This memoir is very different from what you’ve done before in tone, length, genre. ![]()
