Intimate vignettes of women coming out On Loving Women is a new collection of stories about coming out, first love, and sexual identity by the&nbspanimator Diane Obomsawin. With this work, Obomsawin brings her gaze to bear on subjects closer to home-her friends' and lovers' personal accounts of realizing they're gay or first finding love with another woman. Each story is a master class in reaching the emotional truth of a situation with the simplest means possible. Her stripped-down pages use the bare minimum of linework to expressively reveal heartbreak, joy, irritation, and fear. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp On Loving Women focuses primarily on adolescence-crushes on high school teachers, awkwardness on first dates-but also addresses much deeper-seated difficulties of being out: fears of rejection and of not being who others want one to be. Within these pages, Obomsawin has forged a poignant, powerful narrative that speaks to the difficulties of coming out and the joys of being loved. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Her first English-language work, Kaspar -a retelling of the life of Kaspar Hauser, the mysterious German youth who was raised in isolation and murdered just a few years after emerging from his imprisonment-was critically lauded for its simple but expressive storytelling, and for the way it portrayed traumatic material compassionately but without self-indulgence.
