Blankets was my introduction into the world of graphic novels when it was first printed years ago. The book still resonates with me today. I've begun tinkering with a script of my own and I was curious about something with blankets. Where did you draw the line between autobiographical and your own "embellishment" on the story. I want to tackle my own sort of autobio work but did you change names, places, or some event specifics to tell your story? Thank you for your time. I genuinely enjoy your work.

It reminds me of my brother's intense journaling that makes thought visible and creates a rich field to create from. This is amazingly insightful in relation to process.

I just stood at first reading the first few pages, then moment came to the end and i was sitting down on a chair next to the window. I can honestly say my body and mind was seperated becuae you have sucker punched right behind my head. It was happenstance finding your book, too the music i was listening to perfectly fit into the emotions of the book. I read blankets whenever i feel disconnected from the world. i have given the book to everyone that i know will appreciate everything that is on those pages. All of them called me to say simply "thank you", so i simply will say "thank you". And....i cant wait til Habibi comes out...
