Walking Distance Summary

Walking Distance by Lizzy Stewart

Merging the personal and the political, observation and contemplation, the author examines what her life is and wonders what it should be; what is expected of a thirty year old woman by society, by family and friends and by herself. She walks the streets of her London, creating it and herself - gaining agency by being in control of her own direction, speed and momentum. Walking is both an internal and external experience. It's a time for self-reflection, for observing others and for imagining how we appear to them. What is expected of a person of our age, sex, and race, and how should that influence what we do and how we feel about ourselves? A poignant and contemporary meditation on gender politics, social commentary, and eighties movies, all interlaced with shards of autobiography and illustrated with a beautiful series of sequential and non-sequential watercolour images.

Walking Distance Reviews

A well-judged piece of work that captures fear and anxiety yet also moves with beauty. It may be the best-looking graphic novel of the year and that's saying something in a year when both Chris Ware and Seth have had books out. - The Herald Scotland
