SORRY I WAS GONE
ILLUSTRATED LYRIC MEMOIR
November 2021
I’ve written and illustrated a new book, Sorry I Was Gone. This book is unique: it’s a lyric memoir with illustrations by me.
Illustrated books are hard to get published, especially when they're filled with lyric essays about mental health, reality TV, and chronic illness! So I ran a Kickstarter campaign in April 2021 to pay for its printing.
About the book: With original illustrations taken from Grover’s collection of art, to-do lists, and doctors’ notes, Sorry I Was Gone exposes to absurdity the arbitrary metrics by which we judge our lives. In essays on reality TV, personality tests and final exams, Grover asks: what if the worst thing that ever happened to you was also the funniest?
