Krug's poignant, multimodal graphic memoir reminds us that identity cannot be confined to a single time, place, culture or family.
The Boston Globe calls her search one that "erases the boundaries between comics, scrapbooking, and collage as she endeavors to make sense of 20th-century history, the Holocaust, her German heritage, and family's place in it all." Krug's exploration of her family history leads her to explore her own cultural and individual identity as well. The book has received a number of awards, most notably the 2018 National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography.
