“Unveiling the Unseen: Teresa Wong Explores the Extraordinary Depths of Everyday Life in Her Graphic Memoir”
LL: If they’re giving it away, that’s tacit approval, and that’s good.
TW: Yeah. I mean, I tried to be sensitive. There are no villains, obviously, in this book, but everyone’s done a bunch of things that they probably wish they could have done a different way. The person that actually I would have changed the book for would be my brother.
LL: Yeah, I get that 100%
TW: I gave it to my brother very early on. I said, ‘if you’re, you have any problems with how I’m depicting our parents or, you know, their stories, or, you know, even that you’re not in this very much.’ It makes it look like I’m kind of an only child and alone all the time, but he was there a lot, but he didn’t have a problem with it, and so I knew it was okay. I didn’t want him to feel like I had treated my parents unfairly, either. You know, he has a different relationship with them. I mean, it’s similar in some ways, but he didn’t feel a lot of the feelings I felt, and so, I didn’t want to offend him, or, make it, make it seem a certain way if he didn’t feel like it was that way.
