...Gloeckner makes her living as a medical textbook illustrator, giving her late artwork an exacting eye for detail. Most of the singular illustrations are portraits of the book's characters. The comix sections either explicate events the diary only alludes to, as when Minnie and her best friend meet an older man for sex, or else they imagine scenes Minnie was not privy to, as when her mother confronts Monroe on her suspicions about the relationship with Minnie.

...Clayton finds “horrifying” for its implications of cultural dabbling. Instead, it’s in how effortlessly he makes sense of these seemingly disparate genres—ranging from dancehall reggae all the way to avant-classical—and recreates them into a singular body that is at once memorable and immensely addictive. Gold Teeth Thief is the sort of boundless organized noise that hasn’t been heard since the heyday of hip-hop and underground rave...
