Now in paperback for the first time, the definitive collection of Fun Home author Alison Bechdel&;s beloved comic strip, Dykes to Watch Out For
Settle in to this wittily illustrated soap opera (Bechdel calls it &;half op-ed column and half endless serialized Victorian novel&;) of the lives, loves, and politics of Mo, Lois, Sydney, Sparrow, Ginger, Stuart, Clarice, and the rest of the cast of cult-fav characters. Most of them are lesbians, living in a midsize American city that may or may not be Minneapolis. Bechdel&;s brilliantly imagined countercultural band of friends&;academics, social workers, bookstore clerks&;fall in and out of love, negotiate friendships, raise children, switch careers, and cope with aging parents. Bechdel fuses high and low culture&;from foreign policy to domestic routine, hot sex to postmodern theory&;in a serial graphic narrative &;suitable for humanists of all persuasions.&;
