Abstract
This book/graphic novel is a deeply personal memoir and a gift to creators, especially those struggling with mental illness and burnout. It hit very close to home for me, and I imagine it will to other creatives. Highly recommended if you're a fan of Stevenson's work.
In a collection of essays and personal mini-comics that span eight years of his young adult life, author-illustrator ND Stevenson charts the highs and lows of being a creative human in the world.

“[The book] is a coming-out story, a love story, a tale of disorientingly rapid professional triumph, and a story about mental health and illness.” — The New Yorker
“The imagery Stevenson builds around mental health and burnout is so well-crafted and sincere that it should be added into the mental vocabulary of every creative human.” — Buzzfeed
