The borden tragedy by rick geary7/6/2023 ![]() While the narrator purports to be a confidant of Lizzie's, there are no great secrets revealed - no intimate details, no sensational confessions, not even a transcript of the jailhouse visit. Geary immediately jumps into the action, describing the sweltering heat of that fateful August and introducing the Bordon family at a distance as the story remains true to our narrator's point of view. ![]() (The narrator is based on an unpublished memoir from a resident of Fall River that was discovered in 1990.) Fantastically drawn in black and white, the frames reminded me of old newspaper drawings. The graphic novel follows a unnamed lifelong friend of Lizzie Bordon as she attempts to make sense of how such a tragedy not only befell her friend, but came to be blamed on her as well. ![]()
