ReviewsAUTOSTRADDLE -- It's a real story that doesn't try togussy itself up at all. It reads like a Goya painting looks. Perez is tellingstories that are so different from other mainstream comics, but will alsoresonate with so, so many people. You don't need to be trans or a sex worker ordepressed to see yourself in this book. Perez is able to capture a sharedexperience that Millenials have where we just can't seem to swim upriver nomatter what or how hard we try. Sometimes when I read books I think "wow, I'dlove to live in the world this person has created;" with The Pervert ,Perez has written a book where I think "wow, I already do live in the world thisperson has created." While it's brutal, there's also kindness and love in thebook. One of the clients we meet had previously had a relationship with a transwoman and the way he loves her and talks to her warmed my heart. He's nevershown as a perfect person, but he's given sympathy, because he's a human beingand he's trying. I love these parts of the book. There are also splash pages ofart that is simply beautiful. Sometimes the subject matter is somethinggruesome, like a car crash or deer carcass, but it's still overwhelminglybeautiful.
