In the 150 years since Louisa May Alcott introduced readers to the March family with the publication of “Little Women,” Jo March and her sisters have become some of the most iconic and beloved American fictional characters of all time. While “Little Women” has been reinterpreted on stage, screen and on the page countless times, a new graphic novel is going one step further by transporting the Marches to the modern-day Brooklyn, New York.
For Terciero, getting to work on the beloved novel was a chance to introduce the story to younger readers who may not relate to the characters in most American classics. That last point is also why Terciero addressed something that has been hotly debated by Alcott fans for generations: Jo March’s sexuality. In the new book, readers see Jo recoil at the romantic overtures of her friendly neighbor Laurie Marquez and begins figuring out her own sexual orientation and how she should tell her family that she is gay.“The chapters I enjoyed writing the most was definitely when Jo came out,” Terciero said.
