![]() ![]() ![]() Lee Lai is one of the most exciting new voices to break into the comics medium and she has created one of the truly sophisticated graphic novel debuts in recent memory. Peach and nectarine are highly susceptible to chilling injury (CI) symptoms, evident as dry fruit with a mealy or woolly texture (mealiness or woolliness), hard-textured fruit with no juice (leatheriness), fruit with flesh or pit cavity browning (internal browning), or flesh bleeding (internal reddening) and development of off flavor, usually well before visual symptoms are evident. At turns joyful and heartbreaking, Stone Fruit reveals through intimately naturalistic dialog and blue-hued watercolor how painful it can be to truly become vulnerable to your loved ones - and how fulfilling it is to be finally understood for who you are. ![]() Taking a leap of faith, each opens up and learns they have more in common with their siblings than they ever knew. As their emotional intimacy erodes, Ray and Bron isolate from each other and attempt to repair their broken family ties - Ray with her overworked, resentful single-mother sister and Bron with her religious teenage sister who doesn't fully grasp the complexities of gender identity. Their playdates are little oases of wildness, joy, and ease in all three of their lives, which ping-pong between familial tensions and deep-seeded personal stumbling blocks. Bron and Ray are a queer couple who enjoy their role as the fun weirdo aunties to Ray's niece, six-year-old Nessie. ![]()
