(W/A/CA) Powerpaola ?A bicycle is a machine that you power yourself. You decide where you want to go,? writes cartoonist Powerpaola, as the guiding principle of this graphic memoir. All My Bicycles is a story that never really begins, existing all at once in Paola?s memory. The book illustrates Powerpaola?s relationships through her many bicycles: in fragments, it takes her back to her great loves and losses, friendships, and disappointments.In remembering a bicycle, a manhole, an alligator, or a necklace, Powerpaola reflects upon these items in her consciousness without finding a concrete solution. Paola?s memories arrive abruptly and leave just as fast, creating a pathway through herself she can only find in moving forward. All My Bicycles is a glimpse into how exploring these fleeting tangible moments ? of physical objects, of traveling and seeing a new city, of even the end of a relationship ? is an exploration of self.
