No current Talk conversations about this book. Showing 1-5 of 8 (next | show all) I gave up on this book after a few pages. Interesting subject matter and the visual style is very appealing, but the text seemed as if the author explains too much stuff which the reader would understand with fewer words. ( ) raudakind | Mar 13, 2021 | Very uncomfortable but illuminating. ( ) mjhunt | Jan 22, 2021 | Heartbreaking. Williams writes out of alcoholism into awareness of her deep shame of sexual assault. Sardonic view on life in New York City which of course includes lots of time spent on trains. ( ) JesseTheK | Nov 22, 2020 | Read this as an ebook from public Library. (I do this to see if some graphic novels are suitable for inclusion in my school library - this one definitely is NOT!!) It is all about Erin's musings as a recovered alcoholic and rape victim and now mother to a baby girl, as she travels on the commute to work. She looks over all the men in her life, the objectification of the female body, sexual freedom and of course the role alcohol played in her trying to hide her shame after rape. Its a very powerful, honest book but incredibly depressing, even with the smatter of hope she brings to it at the end with her baby daughter. I found her anger quite moving but also very sad and I just wanted to reach out and tell her that all men are NOT like the idiots she slept with, that there are good, decent men in the world and its very sad that she tars all men with the same brush. ( ) nicsreads | Oct 6, 2020 | 'Everything I said created an opportunity for him to perform. I realized quickly that I was not on this date as a participant, but as a witness to his dramatic portrayal of a man on a date.' GOD!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S EXACTLY IT ( ) hatingongodot | May 3, 2020 | Showing 1-5 of 8 (next | show all) ▼Published reviews ▼Common Knowledge
An intimate, clever, and ultimately gut-wrenching graphic memoir about the daily decision women must make between being sexualized or being invisible In Commute, we follow author and illustrator Erin Williams on her daily commute to and from work, punctuated by recollections of sexual encounters as well as memories of her battle with alcoholism, addiction, and recovery. As she moves through the world navigating banal, familiar, and sometimes uncomfortable interactions with the familiar-faced strangers she sees daily, Williams weaves together a riveting collection of flashbacks. Her recollections highlight the indefinable moments when lines are crossed and a woman must ask herself if the only way to avoid being objectified is to simply cease to draw any attention to her physical being. She delves into the gray space that lives between consent and assault and tenderly explores the complexity of the shame, guilt, vulnerability, and responsibility attached to both.

In her new graphic memoir Commute, Erin Williams illustrates these phenomena through a single day’s round-trip commute in New York, not via subway but by long-distance commuter rail. Through chronological chapters, the reader moves through intimate details of her workday routine, like her 16-step skincare regimen, with detached humor.
