Kate Beaton was born in Nova Scotia, took a history degree in New Brunswick, paid it off in Alberta, worked in a museum in British Columbia, then came to Ontario for a while to draw pictures, then Halifax, and now New York. Maybe the moon next time, who knows.
What a difficult, gorgeous and abidingly humane book. It really
does deserve to win all the prizes.
*Observer*
A magnificent piece of work.... Ducks feels like a book that holds
its own alongside the likes of both Guy Delisle (for the
travelogue-y aspects of the book) and Joe Sacco (for the more
political aspects of the book) whilst, crucially, carving out
something of its very own... One of (if not the) standout graphic
novels of 2022.
*Bookmunch*
Beaton delivers a masterpiece graphic memoir
*Publisher's Weekly (Starred Review)*
A masterpiece, a heartbreak, a nightlight shining in the dark.
*Patricia Lockwood, author of No One Is Talking About This*
Devastating. Despite the brutal toll Beaton suffered personally,
she has woven from her experience a vast and complex tapestry that
captures the humanity of people doing a kind of "dirty work" in
which we are all complicit, and it shimmers with grace.
*Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home*
