Dare to Disappoint: Growing Up in Turkey

190 pp. | Farrar/Ferguson | November, 2015 | Paper ISBN 978-0-374-31698-3 $16.99
(2) YA This graphic memoir chronicles the coming of age of a girl and her country, Turkey. �-zge is starting school in the early 1980s, just after the coup that would place the country under a military dictatorship. She's a sharp observer of the world, writ both large and small. While primarily relying on small ink sketches, Samancı provides graphic surprise on nearly every spread.
