SOCIAL PROBLEM / MARK GONZALES

The opening of the book has a passage like, "I wanted to scribble in all the books, tracing them with my fingers, pretending to read, but the teacher knew I was up to something. But no one could change who I was." It's wonderful, and the writing is everything to this person. I really want you to read it.

Creating your own role and seizing it for yourself. I understand how many people struggled and gave up with that unmanageable freedom.

When I was working at a bakery, someone, having heard I drew, said, "This person's art is melancholic but wonderful," and showed me this book.

Of course, I knew about Mark Gonzales. But I had never seen this book.
