Beautiful!\" - Benny Lindelauf \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Jip has an assignment from school for spring break: draw a self-portrait. That should be easy for someone who can draw so well. Yet Jip's thoughts keep wandering. To the new boy in class, to beetles and fireflies, to twilight dreaming, to the party next Friday, and especially to the boy who changed Jip's world once and for all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ludwig Volbeda writes as he draws: sensitively, intimately, and with striking observations and metaphors that gradually give the reader insight into Jip's innermost thoughts. What results is a magnificent self-portrait in words (and line art) and one of the more exquisite queer coming-of-age stories in years. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ludwig Volbeda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Levine Querido\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\/4\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.95 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.3\" H x 5.8\" L x 0.9\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781646145775\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47023995879578,"sku":"9781646145775","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/3015\/4138\/files\/9781646145775_5391d84f-1d6f-4743-833c-ff44d1af1eb6.jpg?v=1774724111","url":"https:\/\/unclejonsbookfactory.com\/products\/self-portrait-ludwig-volbeda-hardcover","provider":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
