Nevertheless, Doucet’s comic diary, even excerpted, contains enough of her trials and tribulations that you get the gist of 2002’s main struggles: relationship ambiguities, dissatisfaction with art, wanderlust, and, in a very meta moment, the publication of the book you’re currently reading. Doucet, circa 2002, had (and may still have) the polite bohemian lifestyle of an inner-city Montreal denizen. Throughout 2002, we follow Doucet to art galleries, films, watch her work with linocuts and prints, and of course, see her drawings take shape. Some of 365 Days’ most interesting moments involve her exploration into the big city, notably her sketches and appraisal of events like a Les Georges Leningrad concert and a few art shows. The pages of Doucet’s work are dizzy with lettering and drawing, often blending collage right into the rest of it all, giving one a very full but surprisingly legible journey into Doucet’s day-to-day life. It’s an enjoyable read, and Doucet’s often swooping drawings are eye-catching.
