The cover of Duck |
Friendship is a defining attribute of the gay
community. When so many of us are rejected by our families—even now, at a time
of great acceptance—it is important to find people upon whom we can rely in
ways that cannot be found elsewhere in society. Even for gay people for whom
family can be a refuge, friendships are what can matter most; we know that few
people will understand us like other gay people. Such philosophical musings are
the most immediate result of reading Duck
by JT (Tana) Ford, an original graphic novel that hides a surprising amount of
poignancy in its slim number of pages.
