BOYS WEEKEND HC

When a dear friend commits suicide, her survivors are left with only memories. This poignant graphic memoir is a moving exploration of friendship despite challenges and love despite grief. From the moment they met in Grade 9, Emilia and Charlotte were best friends. Built on creative writing, indie music, feminist literature, a love of purple, and much more, their special connection sustained them through high school and the many ups & downs that followed-until Charlotte died in 2018 following a long struggle with depression.

For the first time in hardcover, a stunning twentieth anniversary collected edition of 'the most original coming-of-age story from the Middle East yet' (People), with a new introduction by the author that examines the Iranian political landscape in the context of global politics.

In Memento Mori, celebrated Finnish graphic novelist Tiitu Takalo chronicles her sudden, unexpected cerebral hemorrhage and the long road to recovery she had to travel. It is a dramatic story about a life turned upside down overnight: a ruptured cerebral aneurysm, the days and nights spent in an intensive care unit, and the long, painful recovery that led the artist to reflect on her life both past and present. Much more than a story of survival, Memento Mori is a philosophical and psychological journey told with exceptional honesty and compassion.

If you were reading The Daily Worker in the 1930s, you'd have come across the words of Woody Guthrie and Richard Wright, along with the cartoons of the mysterious A. Redfield. Redfield was actually New Yorker cartoonist and future Danny and the Dinosaur author Syd Hoff. Scorning what he saw as the complicity and stale yucks of cartooning peers like Peter Arno, Hoff set his sights on the rich and powerful and revealed them for what they were: hilariously inept, deeply selfish, and incredibly dangerous.

In Leslie Stein's first full-length fiction, Brooklyn's Last Secret, there's sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, sure, but there are also tender moments as the motley crew take turns behind the wheel, compiling lists of the hottest hunks and best guitar riffs to pass the miles. From tour fashion to breakdowns-mechanical and emotional-Leslie Stein holds no bars in this incredibly funny and heartfelt love letter meets parody of life on the road.
