From Nate Powell, the National Book Award-winning artist of March,
a collection of graphic nonfiction essays about living in a new era
of necessary protest-now in paperback with sixteen pages of new
materialIn seven interwoven comics essays, author and illustrator
Nate Powell addresses living in an era of what he calls "necessary
protest." Save It for Later: Promises, Parenthood, and the Urgency
of Protest is Powell's reflection on witnessing the collapse of
discourse in real-time while illustrating the award-winning trilogy
March by Congressman John Lewis and Andrew Aydin, this generation's
preeminent historical account of nonviolent revolution in the civil
rights movement. Powell highlights both the danger of normalized
paramilitary symbols in consumer pop culture and the roles we play
individually as we interact with our communities, families, and
society at large. Each essay tracks Powell's journey from the night
of the election-promising his four-year-old daughter that Trump
will never win-to the reality of the authoritarian presidency,
protesting the administration's policies, and navigating the
complications of teaching his children how to raise their own
voices in a world that is becoming increasingly dangerous and more
and more polarized. While six of the seven essays are new,
unpublished work, Powell has also included "About Face," a comics
essay first published by Popula Online that swiftly went viral and
inspired him to write Save It for Later. The seventh and final
essay was written after the 2020 presidential election, and
examines the outcome of that contest in relation to the events of
the last four years, with a particular focus on the COVID-19
pandemic and global protests in the wake of the murder of George
Floyd. The updated paperback comes out just in time for the 2022
midterm elections and includes bonus content featuring a
conversation between Powell and Derf Backderf, the New York
Times-bestselling author of My Friend Dahmer and Kent State, where
they discuss the militarization of civilian spaces and the
aftermath of the January 6th insurrection. As Powell moves between
subjective and objective experiences raising his children-depicted
in their childhood innocence as imaginary anthropomorphic
animals-he reveals the electrifying sense of trust and connection
with neighbors and strangers in protest. He also explores how to
equip young people with tools to best make their own noise as they
grow up and help shape the direction and future of this country.
