Thieves: An LGBTQIA+ YA Graphic Novel

Product Information

The story begins with Ella waking up and going to school. Bryon draws each frame as a film shot, highlighting the objects around her room, and who she is, by subcultural aspiration, and as a person. The workaround " Object Oriented Ontology " and what materialism exists within Thieves is an important underlying theme. I don't want to get into the specifics of " OOO ," but try and imagine Ella's interest in fashion, movies, and parties (which is underneath the text and only presented through pictures) reveal a greater truth about life outside the narrative. Objects are connected to both the culture and subculture of Ella, where a simple cameo of In The Mood for Love reveals an ideological presence of who Ella is, as a human, and as an individual, through consumer objects. All of this leans towards something that has not been said, or explained, before. Reading Thieves is like going on a decidedly queer adventure - full of heart, tension, beauty, and so much love. Add in to that the gorgeous art, and you’ve got yourself a truly wonderful book.' - Tillie Walden, creator of Are You Listening Everything after reads like a sadist fantasy of falling in love. " I want her ," as the reader dwells in his arousal. Reading Thieves is like going on a decidedly queer adventure - full of heart, tension, beauty, and so much love. Add in to that the gorgeous art, and you've got yourself a truly wonderful book.

Ella and Madeleine don't know it yet, but they're about to embark on the strangest romantic adventure of their lives, and it's not just their hearts that are getting stolen in this laugh-out-loud, capering graphic novel. In philosophy, Platonism represents the highest form of human connection and intimacy, followed by love and romance, and is advocated by the act of two human beings bonding with one another. This is the crux of the romantic comedy, which is not only admired by the upper class and bourgeoisie but an unavoidable aspect of Platonism and the meaning behind intellectualism. Watching Ella and Madeleine bond together creates envy with the reader, and encourages the same mimesis within us to do good. Being good means pursuing romance, love, intimacy, and the subculture that creates us. A cute queer graphic novel set in France during the last year of high school...What follows is a charming coming-of-age story with lovely, emotive illustrations.”

Also it comes highly recommended by Alice Oseman, Molly Knox Ostertag, and my personal favorite graphic novelist Tillie Walden, and those three are amazing. An adorable sapphic romance about two teens who steal! Such a sweet and funny story with complex, flawed characters that you can't help but love, along with gorgeous, emotive artwork.' - Alice Oseman, creator of Heartstopper We're incredibly excited to be having Lucie Bryon to the shop signing copies of her newly released Thieves from Nobow.

It is a necessity to write what you know. Importantly, with regards to creative writing, or even "fantasy memoirs," you write out of a necessity to tell the world what and how you feel, where these feelings were not known before. For Ella, we are understanding what it means to be her, and how others like her can “come out,” and represent a new subculture. Thieves is about her love for Madeleine, a white female, and how she discovers herself through her desires.Ella and Madeleine don’t know it yet, but they’re about to embark on the strangest romantic adventure of their lives, and it’s not just their hearts that are getting stolen in this laugh-out-loud, capering graphic novel.

Thieves worship an identity politic that the liberal world can't handle yet. What was supposed to be dressed as Malthusian social control, instead of dancing around a subculture that might incite revolution against whiteness? Maybe the truth is that "Eurasian lesbianism" is a new form of whiteness. I don’t know.
