About this listen
Winner of the Rainbow Book of the Year
“I know of no other book that so tenderly, convincingly, and completely authentically captures the quest of a young, queer character. Beautiful!”—Benny Lindelauf
Jip has an assignment from school for spring break: draw a self-portrait. That should be easy for someone who can draw so well. Yet Jip's thoughts keep wandering. To the new boy in class, to beetles and fireflies, to twilight dreaming, to the party next Friday, and especially to the boy who changed Jip's world once and for all.
Ludwig Volbeda writes as he draws: sensitively, intimately, and with striking observations and metaphors that gradually give the listener insight into Jip’s innermost thoughts. What results is a magnificent self-portrait in words and one of the more exquisite queer coming-of-age stories in years.
