Susceptible
Geneviève CastréeGoglu is a daydreamer with a young working mother, a disengaged stepfather, and a father who lives five thousand miles away. Drawing, punk rock, and the promise of true independence guide Goglu to adulthood while her home’s daily chaos inevitably shapes her identity. Susceptible is a devastating graphic novel debut by Geneviève Castrée; it’s a testament to the heartbreaking loss of innocence when a child is forced to be the adult amongst grownups..

Susceptible is told through minimalistic simple panels and soft cursive to soften the blow of Goglu’s hard daily life. We follow her from early childhood up through the moment where she finally decides to leave her mother’s emotionally unhealthy home. Many times Susceptible left me with eels in my belly, but it’s worth reading to see Goglu find sources of empowerment in her life.
