Scheiblettenkind

Eva Müller’s Scheiblettenkind (2022–present, Suhrkamp) is a single-issue graphic memoir that traces the author’s coming-of-age in 1990s Germany, weaving together themes of class, family, and the search for identity. Müller, who both writes and illustrates the book, brings a warm, observational eye to the everyday details of her childhood—from processed cheese slices to punk music—creating a deeply personal yet universally resonant snapshot of a specific time and place. It stands out as a poignant, self-contained work that uses the comic medium to explore how the small, ordinary moments shape who we become.
