From the author of Fun Home -- the lives, loves, and politics of
cult fav characters Mo, Lois, Sydney, Sparrow, Ginger, Stuart,
Clarice, and others
For twenty-five years Bechdel's path-breaking Dykes to Watch Out
For strip has been collected in award-winning volumes (with a
quarter of a million copies in print), syndicated in fifty
alternative newspapers, and translated into many languages. Now, at
last, The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For gathers a "rich, funny,
deep and impossible to put down" (Publishers Weekly) selection from
all eleven Dykes volumes. Here too are sixty of the newest strips,
never before published in book form.
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 a cast of characters, most of
them lesbian, living in a midsize American city that may or may not
be Minneapolis.
Her 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."
