"You probably began this quarantine with dreams of rereading
Moby-Dick or Persuasion. But if you’re like me, you’re finding it
hard to concentrate on anything more than a tweet. Fortunately,
Lisa Brown has just published Long Story Short, a witty collection
of cartoon book reviews."
—Ron Charles, The Washington Post
"A collection of three-panel comics that slyly condense hefty works
of literature."
—Lucy Knisley, author and illustrator of Relish: My Life in
the Kitchen
"It’s lighter than CliffsNotes and quite possibly more entertaining
than the originals (the horror, the horror!)"
—Booklist
