Let Me Be Frank brings Sarah Laing’s popular autobiographical comic series together for the first time.
Sarah Laing began blogging her comics in 2009 as a way to shed light on her fiction writing and to record life before it evaporated. The comics soon had a large audience, eager for the next installment about Sarah’s parenting fails and successes, writing, her obsession with Katherine Mansfield, her family’s history, pet mice, sex, clothes and more.
Let Me Be Frank is a witty, whip-smart comic collection that is ever disarmingly frank.
'Audaciously, addictively honest' —Anna Smaill
'Please don't ever stop being Frank, Sarah Laing!' —Kirsten Slade, Newsroom
