Duck


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.
