These are the moments of Taki Soma's life: her early childhood in Japan in the early 80s, moving to Minnesota, the separation of her parents, childhood trauma, teenage angst, death, drugs, comics, health issues, love, fertility, pets and zombies. Sleeping While Standing is an unflinching look at both joyful and harrowing moments, but threaded through with levity and love. In her author/illustrator graphic novel debut, Soma takes us through the important events in her life that shaped who she is today, told in her genuine, compelling, and humorous authorial voice.

Moving autobiographical graphic novel
