This Beautiful, Ridiculous City

At once heartrending and enlivening, this phenomenal graphic memoir is not another ode to New York but a meditation on how easy it is to fall beautifully, ridiculously in loveOn her first night in New York, Kay Sohini sits on the tarmac of JFK airport making an inventory of all she's left behind in India. Kay realises two things: she's finally made it to the city that made her in celluloid and prose from across the Pacific - Kerouac, Friends, Plath - and that trauma she's endured in her relationship has left gaping holes in her memory.
