Take It As A Compliment

Take it as a compliment; Maria Stoian

During a recent talk with a classmate while discussing my project, it was suggested I take a look at Maria Stonian's illustrated book "take it as a compliment". The book deals with anonymous stories of sexual abuse. My classmate recommended me this book as I may be dealing with sensitive subject matter from my interviewees. Stoian deals with these sensitive matter very well, and the mixture of text and imagery fits the content of the publication. I think after looking at this work I'm also keeping in mind the importance of which quotes I chose to pick out of each interview. I won't be able to post entire stories, and the choice of what I put into my final book will very much determine how the piece is read as a whole, and what issues it deals with collectively.
