Write-Up: Relish by Lucy Knisely

As someone who loves comics, I occasionally find myself wondering what kind of books I’d recommend to a friend who, for whatever reason, isn’t a comics-reader. Comics, after all, are much more than the superhero stories which remain a cornerstone of the medium, and Lucy Knisley’s Relish is one of the first books I’d recommend to someone who might think comics are all colourful costumes and world-ending dilemmas.

Knisely has built a career over the past decade or so as a graphic memorist, basing comics around periods of her own life. Her works include books on being a (relatively) carefree twenty-something (An Age of License), marriage (Something New) and pregnancy (Kid Gloves), and while these books each focus on a specific segment of Knisley’s life, Relish: My Life in the Kitchen (to give its full title), moves through different points of Knisley’s childhood and adolescence, with each chapter focusing on a different meal or type of food.

We learn that Knisley, as the child of a gourmet father and caterer mother, grew up with a special connection to food, and we see how many of her memories of her formative years were burnished by a specific meal, recipe or encounter with the world of food. An illicit trip to McDonalds while visiting Rome with her father. Chocolate-chip cookies, made with eggs from the tough chickens on the rural farm Knisely and her mother moved to following her parents’ divorce. Sushi sampled when visiting a teenage friend whose family moved to Japan. Knisley’s writing, which sometimes covers some very personal memories, is honest and thoughtful, and her love for food is clear in every page of her bright, unfussy illustration.

What’s more is that Knisley includes an illustrated recipe at the end of each chapter, so that the encouraged reader may attempt to recreate her mother’s sauteed mushrooms or authentic Mexican huevos rancheros, thereby bringing Knisely’s memories to life in a way that few auto-biographies can hope to emulate. I’ll admit this post might benefit from some photos of my own attempts to create the meals Knisley describes, but unfortunately, unlike our author, I’m a bit of a slouch in the kitchen. Maybe I’ll try those mushrooms one day!

Hmm there’s too many to choose from /lh How about blank 6, Carry You Home, And the Story Changed… and whichever one is your favorite or you just REALLY wanna talk about :3

Blank 6 is a fic for the Peapod Farm series, by Lucy Knisley (it's a different AU from Extremely Not Okay, but comes from the same frustrations with canon) - part of me wants to call it Jenny, Jenny, Come Home, Come Home, in reference to the song that inspired it, but I'm uncertain because it's canon that Jen hates being called Jenny (and that's important in the fic):

She held her breath for a moment longer, even as her chest tightened and the pain crept in around her lungs, anxiety twisting back on itself. They’d brought in a helicopter? From the state? That was her worst fears, made manifest, bug-eyes of tempered glass scanning the treeline for what could only have been her. It wasn’t just the farm-folk she was running from, then; it was the law. Word had gotten out about what she’d done and now they were hunting for her and it was all too real and almost too awful to even consider. Her knees felt weak; she’d known it before, since that awful crack of flesh on the dirt floor of the barn, but being reminded still made her whole body quaver. Jen MacInnes was twelve years old, and she was a murderer.

Carry You Home is a WIP for MLP (specifically Equestria Girls) that's been sitting around forever - it largely came into being just because I was frustrated with another fic I read, but I'll finish it eventually:

Sunset had always been an enigma; in all her years at Canterlot High, Luna had never once seen any of the teen’s family. She came to events alone, and there was always some excuse whenever parents’ evenings or PTA meetings were on. In the past Luna hadn’t thought much of it, but now she drew an uncomfortable conclusion. If Sunset even had a family then they were on the other side of the statue portal, in whatever strange magical world she and Twilight came from. Did she have any guardians at all? Or had she spent the last three years living by herself in an alien city? Luna forced herself to remain calm. Sunset at least looked clean and well-fed, so it wasn’t likely she was homeless. Someone had to be taking care of her. And there was only one way to find out who; carefully, the woman flipped open the teen’s file.

And The Story Changed is an old one; it's a weird fix-it of sorts for When Marnie Was There, where Marnie realises something's off with her memories and what's going on, right towards the end of the climax, and ends up caring about Anna so much that she manages to crack the timeline wide open:

But she hadn’t been alone, she realised with a start. She stopped walking, looking back up at the abandoned silo above. Someone had been with her, she was sure of it… Anna! Anna had been the one to suggest they go up there, hadn’t she? But so had Kazuhiko; he had wanted her to stay there to overcome her fear, hadn’t he? The memories seemed to stumble over one another, two different versions of the same afternoon both seemingly real and yet irreconcilably different. Whichever was the truth, she knew Anna had stayed with her and Kazuhiko had left. And now Anna was still up there, alone, because Marnie had left her. She felt sick to her stomach, the cold realisation of what she had done shaking her.

And I'll take that last opportunity to talk about Grand Opening. I don't really talk much about this one; it's actually finished, but it's a fragmentary thing set in an original world of mine, about the transition of power between the collapsing old order and one of the upstart new nations of this setting, and while I won't post any of the bad portions here, some of it gets very dark and heavy:

“You can’t do this,” he hissed finally, somehow still clinging on. So she dropped the pretence, leaning down with cold fury rising. “You just do not get it, do you?” she challenged, enjoying how he flinched back. “Your. System. Has. Failed. It’s over; sunset on the golden age for one bloated corporocratic wannabe-ethnostate. You have blood on your hands; we have cold fusion, as of three weeks ago, and that’s just the start of it. “Your government has built tombs they couldn’t even fill. We have built the future, Governor, and as much as I would love to take every single pathetic waste of space who swallows your fallacies and throw them to the wolves they created, it is my duty to the Florida Project to drag your asses kicking and screaming into it, if I have to.”

“Okay, guys, dinner time!” Peter called out as he set the bowls of salad and pasta on the table. He helped Ashira set the rest of the cutlery on the table and wiped his hands on his apron, grinning as Caleb and Pakiza scampered into the kitchen, followed by Naseem who held Hasan’s hands and helped his son keep his balance along the way. Peter bent with his hands on his knees, stopping the older kids before they got to the table.

         “You know the rules! Where do you want to wash your hands: the bathroom or the kitchen?”

          Pakiza whipped her head to the kitchen sink, where it was closer, but then gazed over her shoulder toward the hallway, to where her favorite strawberry lemonade scented hand soap with the pink and shimmering bubbles were. “Hm... Bathroom!” Pakiza finally replied.

          “And you?” Peter turned to Caleb. “Bathroom or kitchen?”

          It was soon Caleb’s turn for his deliberation, his tiny chubby finger tapping against his chin. His eyes wandered up to the ceiling, his mouth puckering, and it was taking much of Naseem’s energy to not bust out laughing because this was serious business, this was a matter of life or death, this could make or break Caleb’s dinner enjoyment! 

       And then came a light of brilliance in Caleb’s eyes, his mouth dropping open as a moment of eureka came to him! Peter watched, trying to follow along with whatever train of thought was choo-chooing in that adorable little head of golden curls, when Caleb shot his hands in the air.

          “THE BITCHEN!”

          “Do not encourage him!” Ashira cried out as she watched her husband and boyfriend struggle to stay on their feet, laughing themselves into choking coughs.

Cover reveal!!

Hi tumblr, sorry I forgot you existed for like a year or something lol... 😅

So yeah, FYI for anyone who's read my comic about growing up gay and Orthodox Jewish here or somewhere else online, it's coming out as a physical book Feb 6!!!

You can preorder it here, or at plenty of other websites, or you can of course ask for it at your local comic shop / bookstore, and/or request it at your local library! Any of those would be amazing!!

Here are some really nice things some other cartoonists who've read it have said about it:

“I'm so glad this beautiful, thoughtful book exists for readers who need it; for anyone fighting their way out or searching for a clear path. I can't wait to share it with kids who need it!” —Lucy Knisley, author of Kid Gloves and Relish

“I loved this book! It is for any of us who have been othered by our upbringing. This book lets you know that the journey out is worth it.” —Shelby Criswell, author of Queer As All Get Out

“While the circumstances of growing up in a strict orthodox household are highly individual, the feelings of loneliness and confusion mixed with hope are universal. Read it and remember.” —Rob Kirby, author of Marry Me a Little

“This tenderly-drawn journey of self-definition gave me a peek into a very different world. I loved it.” —Hazel Newlevant, author of No Ivy League

I hope you like it!!! 💖
