The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For

The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For

<DIV>From the author of Fun Home -- the lives, loves, and politics of cult fav characters Mo, Lois, Sydney, Sparrow, Ginger, Stuart, Clarice, and others<br /><br />For twenty-five years Bechdelâ€™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 â€œrich, funny, deep and impossible to put downâ€ (Publishers Weekly) selection from all eleven Dykes volumes. Here too are sixty of the newest strips, never before published in book form.<br /><br />Settle in to this wittily illustrated soap opera (Bechdel calls it â€œhalf op-ed column and half endless serialized Victorian novelâ€) 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.<br />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.<br /><br />Bechdel fuses high and low culture -- from foreign policy to domestic routine, hot sex to postmodern theory -- in a serial graphic narrative â€œsuitable for humanists of all persuasions.â€</div>
