Timeline
Phoebe Louise Adams Gloeckner (born December 22, 1960) is an American cartoonist, illustrator, painter, and novelist.
Gloeckner was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Her mother was a librarian and her father, David Gloeckner, was a commercial illustrator.
Her father's family was Quaker and she attended Quaker schools when she was young.
She has a younger sister.
Gloeckner's parents divorced when she was 4 years old.
In 1972, when she was 11 or 12 years old, her mother remarried and the family moved to San Francisco.
She attended several Bay Area schools, including The Urban School of San Francisco and Lick-Wilmerding High School.
She was a boarding student at Castilleja (in Palo Alto) for a year, but returned to San Francisco to live with her mother, her mother's boyfriend, and her sister, when she was 14.
Gloeckner began cartooning at the age of 12.
Gloeckner attended San Francisco State University from 1980 to 1985, where she was a pre-med student and studied French and art.
She spent the 1983–1984 academic year in Université d’Aix-Marseille studying art, French, and biology, and from 1984 to 1985 spent about six months studying Czech and literature at Charles University in Prague.
In 1986, Gloeckner married Czech artist Jakub Kalousek.
She has two daughters, Audrey "Fina" Gloeckner-Kalousek and Persephone Gloeckner-Kalousek.
Her 1987 dissertation was on the "Semiotic Analysis of Medical Illustration," in which she studies narrative devices used in medical and surgical illustration.
Gloeckner became interested in medical illustration through her maternal grandfather, an antique dealer who collected and sold old books, and her paternal grandmother, Dr. Louise Carpenter Gloeckner, who was a physician in Philadelphia and was the first woman to be elected vice president of the American Medical Association.
She has an M.A. in Biomedical Communications from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, which she received in 1988.
The degree was in medical illustration.
Gloeckner worked prolifically as a medical illustrator since 1988, and her training is evident in her paintings and comics art, which are highly detailed and often prominently feature the human body.
Her first prominent work in fiction publishing, a series of illustrations for the RE/Search edition of J. G. Ballard's novel The Atrocity Exhibition, used clinical images of internal anatomy, sex, and physical trauma in ambiguous and evocative combinations.
Her early comics work, in the form of short stories published in a variety of underground anthologies including Wimmen's Comix, Weirdo, Young Lust, and Twisted Sisters, and in the tabloid zine, RE/Search (numbered volumes), was sporadic and rarely seen until the 1998 release of the collection A Child's Life and Other Stories.
This was followed by her 2002 graphic novel The Diary of a Teenage Girl: An Account in Words and Pictures, which revisited the troubled life of the young character (usually referred to as "Minnie Goetze") previously featured in some of her comics, this time in an unusual combination of prose, illustration, and short comics scenes.
Her novel and many of her short stories are semi-autobiographical, a frequent cause of comment due to their depiction of sex, drug use, and childhood traumas; however, Gloeckner has stated that she regards them as fiction.
Sexual content led to A Child's Life and Other Stories being banned from the public library in Stockton, California, after it was checked out by an 11-year-old reader.
The mayor of Stockton called the book "a how-to book for pedophiles."
The graphic novel was also classified as pornography and refused entry by customs officials in both France and England.
Less controversial, and actually intended for children, is the book Weird Things You Can Grow, published by Random House, and books in the series beginning with Tales Too Funny to be True published by HarperCollins, for which she did the illustrations.
Gloeckner is an associate professor at the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design, a position she has held since 2010.
In recognition of her contributions to the comic art form, ComicsAlliance listed Gloeckner as one of twelve women cartoonists deserving of lifetime achievement recognition.
A film version of The Diary of a Teenage Girl premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival.
The film was acquired by Sony Pictures Classics at the festival.
Adapted and directed by Marielle Heller, it is based on Heller's earlier stage adaptation.
The film stars Alexander Skarsgård as Monroe, Kristen Wiig as Charlotte, and Bel Powley as the main character, Minnie Goetze.
Heller developed the script at the Sundance Institute's Sundance Feature Film Program Lab.
The film won "Best First Feature" at the 2016 Spirit Awards.
Gloeckner briefly taught courses at Suffolk Community College and Stony Brook University.
