Spent: A Comic Novel PH23-1

Spent: A Comic Novel PH23-1The celebrated and beloved New York Times bestselling author of the modern classic Fun Home presents a laugh out loud, brilliant, and passionately political work of autofiction. In Alison Bechdels hilariously skewering and gloriously cast new comic novel confection, a cartoonist named Alison Bechdel, running a pygmy goat sanctuary in Vermont, is existentially irked by a climate challenged world and a citizenry on the brink of civil war. She wonders:

Who can help a rough and tough pirate captain get over his fears and back to driving the school bus

and becomes a part of the dreams and ambitions of the family’s young daughter

and four kid interns at the most interesting place on Earth: Area 51

Those pesky monsters are at it again
