As graphic artist Rhea Ewing neared college graduation in 2012 , they became consumed by the question:
What is gender?
This obsession sparked a quest in which they eagerly approached both friends and strangers in their quiet Midwest town for interviews to turn into comics . A decade later , this project exploded into a sweeping portrait of the intricacies of gender expression with interviewees from all over the country . Questions such as “How do you Identify” produced fiercely honest stories of dealing with adolescence , taking hormones , changing pronouns—and how these experiences can differ , often drastically , depending on culture , race , and religion . Amidst beautifully rendered scenes emerges Ewing’s own story of growing up in rural Kentucky , grappling with their identity as a teenager , and ultimately finding themself through art—and by creating something this very fine . Tender and wise , inclusive and inviting ,
Fine
is an indispensable account for anyone eager to define gender in their own terms .
