In order to pay off her student loan, Canadian Kate Beaton leaves her idyllic homeland and works on oil plantations in the west of the country. Her experiences appear as a graphic novel, which has received many awards. Now it is available in German.
Not only the former President of the USA honored author and illustrator Kate Beaton by including “Ducks” for the first time in his annual literature recommendations for a comic. Her autobiographical work also went straight to the New York Times bestseller list and several other major newspapers. “The phone never stopped ringing for me, I can hardly believe it to this day,” the Canadian remembers in May 2023 of the crazy time in 2022 when her book was published.
