In her keenly observed graphic memoir, Impossible People,
celebrated cartoonist Julia Wertz chronicles her haphazard attempts
at sobriety and the relentlessly challenging, surprisingly funny,
and occasionally absurd cycle of addiction and recovery. Opening at
the culmination of a disastrous trip to Puerto Rico, the first page
of Impossible People finds Julia standing stupefied in the middle
of the jungle beside a rental Jeep she's just crashed. From this
moment, the story flashes back to the beginning of her five-year
journey towards sobriety that includes group therapy sessions,
relapses, an ill-fated relationship, terrible dates, and an
unceremonious eviction from her New York City apartment. Far from
the typical addiction narrative that follows an upward trajectory
from rock bottom to rehab to recovery, Impossible People portrays
the lesser told but more common story: That the road to recover is
not always linear. With unflinching honesty, Wertz details the
arduous, frustrating, and hilarious story of trying and failing and
trying again.
