i was so excited when i read about "superzelda", a graphic (love the pun!) novel about zelda fitzgerald! it had to be amazing! and it was!!
this is the perfect introduction to people new to the amazing yet tragic mess that is zelda fitzgerald. it covers all of her life. the high points when she was the world's favorite flapper to the low points with her mental illness. essentially it is pretty much is an illustrated cliffnotes for nancy milford's "zelda" but i mean what is wrong with illustrated cliffnotes?
i will say that i did learn one new thing from this graphic novel. i knew scott wasn't allowed burial in a catholic cemetery but didn't know that decision was reversed and he and zelda were moved.
here were my favorite parts:
i always admired zelda for being her own person.
their partying was notorious but love the inclusion of josephine baker in his drawing.
this was a recipe harper and brothers included in "recipes of famous women". zelda was kind of cook!
the perfect ending to this book.
if you love zelda fitzgerald, you should check this out. her life was quite amazing and this is a good overview of it.
