The Fire Never Goes Out collects several years of Tumblr doodles and reflection by N.D. Stevenson. It is a powerful, very personal book that follows the creator‘s journey and evolving self-image through almost a decade. While it is autobiographical, it is not concerned with external events, although they are mentioned (like receiving recognition in the world of comics, and becoming show-runner for the animated She-Ra series by Dreamworks/ Netflix). The focus is mostly on internal struggles, love and acceptance. During the time covered by this memoir the author came out as gay, and faced mental illness. The book is both funny and moving. I loved it!
