Books with pictures: Sarah Laing’s illustrated year of reading

New Zealand Listener
Quick Read

Sarah Laing is a Wellington-based cartoonist, illustrator and fiction writer. The author of two novels, a story collection and a book-length comic, Mansfield and Me: A Graphic Memoir, she is also a voracious reader. Ahead of the Listener’s 100 Best Books and 50 Best Kids’ Books of 2023, we asked her to create a visual diary of the books she has read this year.
