Cartooning, Illustration, Graphic Recording and Visualizing End of Life Storytelling
Jury Citation, 2022 Evelyn Richardson Creative Non-Fiction Award
“Drawn in a crisp straight-forward-style and told in an accessible voice, Dying for Attention weaves complex strands into a compelling narrative, and a stirring call to action.”
"Caring for an elderly patient is an unusual subject for a graphic novel. The very existence of Dying For Attention shows the versatility of the medium; its content shows its power. This was Susan MacLeod’s life for nine years and it’s a remarkable memoir."
– Mike Donachie, Toronto Star, Oct. 14, 2021
