I read To Broadway by Maurane Mazars, a #GraphicNovel with images that made me think of Jules Feiffer's passionate modern dancers. That's apt because it's set in the late 1950s.
Uli is a young gay man studying dance at a prestigious studio in Germany. But no one there understands his love for popular dance. (One of my favorite scenes is of him alone in a theater, entranced by what I recognized as an impressionistic watercolor vision of "An American in Paris.")He decides to pursue his Broadway dream, but nothing is as he expected; his new friends mock pop culture too, and the Black American dancer he fell for in Germany won't pursue a relationship with him.
There's not a lot of text in this--it's mainly images and atmosphere and you have to work a bit to follow the story. I found it very relatable and often beautiful.
(Thanks to the #QueerLiberationLibrary for making the book available)
