review:
'Sleeping While Standing' by Taki Soma is a graphic novel memoir told in very short stories.

Each chapter has a one word title like Minnesota, Demon or Addict. The stories are frank and sometimes sad and unpleasant. They tell of assault, loss and neglect, but the thread of hope glimmers somewhat. The art is quite good. I really like Taki's line work and color choice.

Originally done as a creative project and shared with fellow artists, the author was eventually encouraged to create a book. We are the benefactors, not because this is a light fun biography, but because it can show us that we all struggle, even if some struggle more.
